Devonians have long felt called to the sea—for their livelihood, for adventure or simply to connect with a power greater than themselves. Our newest range, Seafarer, pays homage to the tales told by these mariners of monsters and legends lurking in the briny depths.
With Seafarer we set out to create a yarn with depth of tone and shine akin to sunlight glistening on breaking waves, yet durable enough to stand up to the elements. By blending trusty, durable, Devonian wool with luxurious silk we’ve designed a range which is equally suited to ethereal accessories and hardwearing garments alike.
The Exmoor Blueface brings its wonderful springy nature to the blend, Bluefaced Leicester lends its outstandingly soft handle, whilst a dash of rustic Devon Closewool keeps those pills away, and Romney gives a beautiful woolly halo. Adding a dash of silk enhances the blend’s sheen and fine drape, creating something truly unique. A luxurious blend with a hardworking, unpretentious air.
Anything you create will look opulent but also be tough enough to ensure long-lasting survival of your woollens – even socks for the hardiest of seafaring folk!
