All the raw fleece that goes into Ram Jam Sport is gathered from flocks where it would otherwise have gone to waste and we are therefore utilising both black and white wool. You will find a plethora of different sheep breeds in the yarn; the natural blacks include Hebridean, Zwartbles and black Texel and the white comes from a mixture of BFL/Cheviot cross, Texel cross, various other mule crosses and we have even added fleece from the naturally black and white coloured Badgerface sheep.
Ram Jam Sport is woollen spun as a 2ply yarn making it light and bouncy to handle, with good stitch definition, a soft halo and lots of character.
