Here at The Woolly Thistle, we know and love John Arbon Textiles and the gorgeous yarn produced at their mill. Now available in our offerings from John Arbon is Appledore Aran. Appledore is thoughtfully composed of specific breeds to create a yarn that is rustic with beautiful luster and a woolly halo that is bouncy and soft. The 3-ply structure creates a round yarn that will make those cables pop! Durable and pill-resistant, this yarn is perfect for the garments and accessories that see a lot of wear.
