The Woolly Thistle is happy to offer Yarnadelic! As you may know, John Arbon is not only a spinner of yarn but also records. This got them thinking it would be wonderful to create a yarn range inspired by his eclectic record collection – everything from punk to funk. They had a cracking evening when John played the Mill folk a few of his favorites and, while sipping a few glasses of chilled wine, they all wrote down the color each song evoked. Then the hand carders came out, and they began creating shades to illustrate the sentiment of each piece – and thus, the palette for Yarnadelic was born.

Yarnadelic is 100% Falklands Corriedale. The breed is around 100 years old and was derived by crossing the Merino and Lincoln Longwool. Its properties are a perfect balance of delightful softness and bounce from the Merino combined with the slight luster and long staple length of the Lincoln Longwool – a fiber lover’s dream! By giving this yarn a rounded three-fold structure, they’ve enhanced the fibers' natural stitch definition and drape, creating the ideal go-to yarn for everything from cables to lace and garments to accessories.

  • BREED: 100% Falkland Corriedale
  • LENGTH: ~364 yards (332 meters) / 100g skein
  • YARN THICKNESS: Heavy Fingering/Sport
  • GAUGE: 23.0 to 26.0 sts = 4 inches
  • NEEDLES: US 2½ - 7
  • FINISH: WOOLLEN OR WORSTED: Worsted
  • Made in the UK

There are a number of beautiful patterns that recommend this gorgeous yarn. Some of our current favorites are the Lehto Sweater by Anna Johanna in her book Strands of Joy, the Mitts Camille by Astrid Tueting, and the Don't Fret Shawl by Jo Shaw. These are just a few suggestions for possible projects! 

Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.

Lovely yarn, but dealing with pills and felting

I recently made a sweater from this gorgeous yarn. It was a joy to knit, both to the hand and to the eye, and I love the way it worked up. However, even at a relatively tight gauge, I'm still dealing with pilling months later after at least 3 or 4 depillings, and furthermore, the armpits of my sweater are felting and hardening a bit even though I only use natural deodorant and did not wear the garment in warm weather. I'm a little sad that it's not wearing as strongly as I'd hoped...though I still love it.

We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed knitting with Yarnadelic and that it brought you so much joy both during the process and in the finished sweater — it really is a gorgeous yarn!

Yarnadelic is a worsted spun yarn, meaning the fibers are aligned in the same direction during spinning. This creates a smooth and strong yarn with excellent stitch definition, but it can also mean that the fibers are more prone to working loose and pilling over time — particularly in areas of high friction like the underarms. Natural fiber yarns can behave differently depending on their preparation, fiber content, and the type of wear they receive, and your experience helps us and others learn how different yarns perform in real life.

Thank you again for trusting us with your knitting — we’re grateful to have you as part of The Woolly Thistle community!

Love this!

Using this now to knit a softer version of the vanilla sweater. It’s lovely.
