JAT Vlog Episode 21 - Knit by Numbers Relaunch!

[@dianneevans5492]

So glad to see you moving away from merino and into the BFL. I rarely use merino any more because it doesn't wear very well, pilling and such. When I spend as much time making my items I want them to wear better than 100% merino does.❤

clearly great minds think alike - hehehe. We'd love to know what you think of it, if you do happen to give it a go x

Beautiful colors and love your updates! It's super dark early in the Pacific Northwest

I could listen to you yarn about yarn all day.... thank you all! Always a treat to have a new episode to look forward to. Just trying to decide what to knit with the new yarn......

[@JohnArbonTextile]

hehehe! thanks Ann - hope all is well on your end. Do let us know what you think once you get it on the needles xx

[@kateaspinall4044]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't quite get the sock knitting Thing! I've got a couple of pairs that have been on the needles for a matter of years... Very happy to see the new KBN and I can't wait to get my hand on the tops to spin, especially that new Burgundy, yum!

[@JohnArbonTextile]

hehehe! most certainly - best to go your own way and ignore the hype. Still though - those socks can be addictive, the madness may descend on you yet one day ;-) happy spinning x

Hello Sonja and Helena. Greetings from Sydney Australia. Im so into John Arbon Down on the Allotment minis. We dont have allotments here and I would so love a small vegy patch. The colours are organic and they feel soft. Im collecting JA minis..I have 4 lots of minis so far. I havent tried the Numbers yet. Every 2nd pension day I purchase more JA minis. Perfect wools 💗🧶🧶🧶

[@JohnArbonTextile]

hehehe! thats so lovely to hear - we are really proud of the way all those shades turned out. I love my Down the Allotment jumper, so pleased to hear you're enjoying your minis. And one can always start small with a few pots of herbs on a windowsill. xx

So excited to see the new KBN release! John Arbon yarn is my absolute favorite ❤

[@JohnArbonTextile]

eek, thats so lovely to hear thanks x

[@frooken.]

As always, so relaxing to knit and listen to your lovely chats about gorgeous John Arbon wool! I love Sonjas sweater 😍 please share the pattern name and colors 🤗

[@JohnArbonTextile]

Oh thank you, I think it might just be my most complimented ever item of knitwear. ;-) the pattern is by James N Watts and was published in Pom Pom Mag. its called Streamers: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/streamers and the yarn is our 2023 special, Down the Allotment. I used Herb Garden / Potato Patch / Borlotti Bean / Cavelo Nero / Purple Sprouting: www.jarbon.com/product/down-the-allotment-yarn-limited-edition-mow-specials/ think there are loads of lovely colour combos to choose from though! x

@@JohnArbonTextile Thank you, it went into my fav list immediately, I’ll keep the colors in mind when my next JA order is due. I just got the golden black of the sun with some indigo dust, or pollen as alternative CC, for Jennifer Steingass silverlining sweater to cast on a Christmas eve … it’s my gift to myself … just waiting for a new amount of leftover top boxes ❤️

This is really dragging. No offence girls but do please get to the point.
