I live in Devon as well but, though I know of John Arbon. I have never been up there to see the mill. This has been excellent and so interesting, thank you.
This was such a delight to watch! Fascinating to understand how these industrial machines map onto what I'm familiar with as a handspinner. I just received a big order from John Arbon and it's so cool to see where it came from!
Hello Lauren! I’m so glad you enjoyed the mill tour. I find the industrial process fascinating as well. John Arbon have a mill tour on their channel from 2020 which shows their current setup. The John Arbon Virtual Mill Open Weekend is coming up so keep an eye out for the schedule. They have lots of Zoom talks and workshops planned and I’m hosting a spinning workshop which might be of interest to you as you work on your big order! 😃
This was such a good video because you showed so much detail about how each machine worked. John was also excellent at giving explanations that related to what handspinners do, too. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks to you and Grace for working together and getting us an inside look at a process we only see the end result of. We love our fibre and yarn and love seeing how in all comes together. XO
Interesting video.I worked 28years as a mechanic on textile machines flax and jute fibres in North east Scotland.Some of the machines used in the mills I worked in were of similar type.Schlumber combing and gill box GN4 & GN5 .
I live in the USA and I can’t tell you how very much I have enjoyed these videos! I will probably never get the opportunity to visit a milll so this is wonderful! Many thanks!!!! Beverly
Stott Park Bobbin Mill in Cumbria is a working museum and makes bobbins in the traditional way. They might have replacements? That was a really interesting tour, thank you
Thank you so much. I spent a LOT of time on the editing, audio levels and subtitling for this one in order to do John’s work justice so I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Thanks for this video. Although I’m in the US, many of my ancestors came from Yorkshire and that area and were textile workers in the 1800’s. One grandfather was from Bradford and a great grandfather was a “loom setter and fixer” from Kidderminster. This was very interesting for me. I have been enjoying many of your videos as I am just getting into spinning and weaving myself.
That new standard that ran contrary to all other standards anecdote (@ 45:40) is so universal! My favorite nerd webcomic even has an old strip about it: xkcd.com/927/ In my job writing code, I've tried to sum up competing things into one new way that works for all, and it's just made a new mess every time. We're a hopeless creature.

John Arbon drinking game - take a drink every time John says "parallel"... LMAO!
I love John Arbon yarn. This is a great video. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for the tour! Good camerawork, editing, and titles during the hard-to-hear bits. I learned a bunch of things, and had a few questions answered!

That is definitely a neat tour! I loved his little quips here n there...

Very interesting! Thank you for this look into the yarn making process.
Oh it was so fun to spend that time with you becks. I’m amazed at the work you did splicing the footage together. You’re an angel.
