John Arbon Textiles, Exmoor Sock: Mackerel - Sky
John Arbon Textiles is a traditional British mill based on a very simple concept - a return to old-style textile manufacture by sustainably sourcing raw fibre locally, wherever possible, and converting it into high quality yarns. The mill is situated in the heart of North Devon, and the surrounding Exmoor landscape provides not only local sheep breeds for the yarn, but inspiration for color.
