This luxury British breed blend is a staple yarn in any stash, with each shade inspired by English woodland. This soft yarn is comfortable worn next to the skin making it ideal for sweaters, scarves and hats.
100% of baa ram ewe’s wool comes from non-mulesed sheep.
At Baa Ram Ewe, like at Purl &Jane, they have a passion for wool and have made it their mission to share the beautiful natural properties of this sustainable fibre through a range of luxurious, breed-specific yarns that highlight the difference in qualities from sheep to sheep.
Each fleece differs from one breed of sheep to the next, with varying fibre length, softness and strength having an effect on the overall texture of the resulting yarn. Knowing the difference between each breed can be a good starting point for choosing a yarn for your next knitting, crochet or weaving project.
With more than 60 pure breeds, British sheep have a long and rich history and their wool is renowned for its quality and versatility. These breeds can be categorised into seven main groups: fine, medium, cross, lustre, hill, mountain and naturally coloured. Whether you’re looking for a soft and luxurious yarn for a delicate garment or a hardwearing and durable yarn for a practical project, there’s a British sheep breed that’s perfect for you.
