Winterburn Aran throws the spotlight on another one of Baa Ram Ewe's wonderful Yorkshire sheep breeds, the Masham. The Masham has a smaller ringlets of fleece than the Wensleydale but with added bounce and loft. 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. Blue-faced Leicester wool is known for being shiny like silk, and the combination of these two types of wools makes for strong and hardwearing yarn.
