John Arbon Textiles

John Arbon Textiles is a British family-run company known for its high-quality, locally produced yarns and traditional spinning expertise. Based in Devon, South West England, the company spins all its yarn in-house using lovingly restored vintage machinery. This hands-on approach ensures full control over the production process and results in exceptionally characterful, sustainable yarns.

John Arbon Textiles is deeply committed to using British wool and natural fibers, with many of their yarns featuring fleece from local breeds such as Exmoor Blueface or sheep raised near Devon. From fleece to finished skein, the company emphasizes transparency, ethical sourcing, and local production.

Their yarns are celebrated for their rich color palettes, the sophisticated texture of carded fibers, and excellent knitability. Perfect for socks, sweaters, shawls, and any project where durability, natural feel, and artisan quality are valued.
