Daughter of a Shepherd 'Ram Jam Sport'

I have used this lovely yarn to make The Beekeeper Vest.

Daughter of a Shepherd ‘Ram Jam’ Sport (100% wool from mixed breeds;

169m/185yds) per 50g skein)

Here is some more information about this special yarn:

All the raw fleece that goes into Ram Jam Sport is gathered from flocks where it would otherwise have gone to waste so 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. 

Being sport weight makes the yarn suitable for working across a various range of tensions; the gauge given is just a guide so please do swatch and play with the yarn.

I worked with the mill to blend the greys which are created by combining different quantities of black and white fibre together, resulting in natural melanges that compliment one another perfectly.
