Harlequin was designed to show case “John Arbon Textiles Knit by Numbers DK”.
Harlequin was a character from 16th century street comic theatre, he was a good natured trickster and wore a colourful diamond costume, anyone who was met John Arbon at a wool show or visited his mill will recognise similar character traits and so this blanket is for him.
