Jacob Humbug Wool Top: UK

Based on the famous UK sweet, the Humbug, this beautiful wool blend will knock you off your feet. Humbug custom blends mix the natural colors found in various wools to produce a highly desirable stripey effect in this combed top. Choose from Blue Faced Leicester, Jacob, or Shetland. Luscious and delicious! You will love the way it looks as well as the way it feels. (Not recommended for eating.)

You know them as the stunning sheep with multiple horns and black and white spots, but did you know that the English kept Jacob sheep in parks just for looks? We see this today with peacocks but how would it be to go around a corner and come face to face with a four horned beauty! Spinner’s delight!

The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy lists the Jacob sheep as “threatened.”
