John Arbon Seafarer Sport - Mill Open Weekend 2026 Special

Once each year, John Arbon Textiles creates a truly special collection for their beloved Mill Open Weekend, and we're delighted to bring these limited-edition Seafarer Sport colorways to The Woolly Thistle. This year's collection leaves the Devon coastline behind to explore the wild beauty and folklore of the moors. Inspired by mythical creatures and misty landscapes, each colorway tells its own story—from The Woman of the Mist and Piskie to Old Crockern, Vixiana, and The Beast. Seafarer Sport is a worsted-spun 4 ply weight yarn that offers crisp stitch definition and a smooth hand, making it ideal for textured knits, colorwork, or timeless wardrobe staples. Each 100g skein is brimming with character: durable yet refined, for knitters who love wool in its truest form. Made entirely in the UK, Seafarer Sport celebrates sustainable British farming and milling traditions. Whether you’re dreaming of cozy sweaters, versatile tops, or accessories built to last, this yarn will carry you through many seasons of making. These special colorways are made to celebrate John Arbon's Mill Open Weekend and they are available in limited quantities, so you'll want to grab your favorites now!
