Baa Ram Ewe Winterburn DK Wool Knitting Yarn

Winterburn DK Yarn | Baa Ram Ewe - For Beautiful Garments

Winterburn DK throws the spotlight on another one of Baa Ram Ewe's  wonderful Yorkshire sheep breeds, the Masham. The Masham has smaller ringlets of fleece than the Wensleydale but with added bounce and loft that it gets from its hill-loving male ancestry, the Dalesbred. In fact, female ‘gimmer’ -or lambs- were considered so pretty that farmers would tie ribbons in their fleece before taking them to market and Sheep Fairs which continues to this day in the North Yorkshire town of Masham, from which this sheep breed gets its name. Made in Yorkshire, England.
