Devonia is a lustrous blend of three local fibres – Exmoor Blueface, Devon Bluefaced Leicester and Devon Wensleydale resulting in a medley of their characteristics – springy nature, soft handle and fine drape. There are 20 shades and each is made up of up to 5 blended pre-dyed fibre tops to create a rich melange of colour in the spun yarn. Exmoor Blueface is a crossbreed of the Exmoor Horn and Blueface Leicester. This wonderfully bouncy fibre, with a hint of drape and lustre.
