The Woolly Good Gathering '26 Exclusive Colourway

Fingering weight 50% Falkland Merino, 50% Bluefaced Leicester 400m per 100g | 437yard per 3.5oz We have found a couple of skeins from our exclusive festival yarn. This year’s Designer Competition theme was Community, and we felt deeply inspired to carry that theme through to our yarn choice. Community, after all, is the reason this festival exists. It felt only right to work with a mill whose values echo that same warmth and connection. Our 2026 festival base has been created by John Arbon Textiles, a small-scale worsted spinning mill in North Devon — a place filled with heritage, care, and creativity. Their lovingly restored vintage machinery, thoughtful sourcing, and hands-on approach to making yarn make every skein feel meaningful. Their fibre is selected with intention, much of it traceable back to individual farms, and their ethics guide every part of the process. The yarn blend features: • Falklands Merino – soft, bouncy, naturally mulesing-free • Bluefaced Leicester – beautifully British, with drape and durability • A non-superwash, worsted-spun finish for softness, strength and natural warmth • A fully traceable UK fibre component through BWMB’s scheme It is a 100g/400m fingering weight skein Thank you for stopping by!
