This virtual Mill Tour explains how each specific machine works and will give you an insight into how we create yarn and fibre tops.
John Arbon Textiles: www.jarbon.com
We are an independent business making yarns and fibre tops in our small scale, worsted spinning mill in North Devon (one of only a handful still operating in the UK). We source most of our fibre locally, championing British wool at every opportunity.
Using predominantly vintage machinery that we have lovingly restored we create wonderful artisan goods using a hands-on approach to production. All our yarn and tops ranges are designed, blended and spun by the folk at our mill, inspired by the natural world around us or our interests in art, music and nostalgia.
