I have recently been knitting projects with multiple shades of
John Arbon Textiles Knit by Numbers (KBN). As well as my
Sukie cardigan design from the Knitter Magazine 123, which uses two beautiful shades of pink KBN 4ply, I have also been working on swatches, scarves and shawls in all sorts of combinations of KBN pinks.
Imagine my delight when I realised that we would be in North Devon during the
John Arbon Textiles Mill Open Weekend (May 19th & 20th 2018)!! Not only would this be a chance to stock up on more gorgeous gradient shades, but we also managed to book on one of John's mill tours.

The mill is situated within a small industrial estate in South Molton and John and Juliet had set up a huge marquee outside. It was a beautiful sunny day when we visited and the marquee full of happy visitors sampling yarn, tea and cakes! The mill tour was fascinating. John and Phil talked passionately about the different processes, demonstrating each piece of machinery to show how the yarns are produced. We really enjoyed the tour and the chance to browse all the beautiful yarns. You can read more about the whole weekend on
John and Juliet's blog.
Thank you John, Juliet and your whole team for such a lovely visit!
