The Wonder of Wool: A knitter’s guide to pure breed sheep

Knitters, spinners and weavers have never before been so interested in sheep breeds. At yarn shows around the world they can be found seeking out skeins of yarn from their favourite sheep breeds. Provenance is increasingly important to yarn lovers alongside sourcing yarn from farmers using regenerative methods.
The UK has more ancient breeds than any other country and the rich diversity of breeds and the unique characteristics of British wool are valued worldwide. This is a guide to the pure breeds of sheep found in the UK, exploring their history, habitat, appearance and, of course, their fleece and the resulting yarn.
Historically, British sheep originated from three main sources: longwools and a few shortwools from the Romans; ancients from the island of Soay in Scotland; and mountain breeds from the Vikings. Today, sheep breeds used for knitting are categorised slightly differently: there are the primitives, longwools, and downs and shortwools.
Knitwear designer and author, Justine Lee, set out on a search for the British ‘cashmere’ and knitted with yarn from each of the 62 pure breeds in order to find the ones that produce the best yarn for hand knitting. She has designed 10 knitting patterns for garments and accessories made using yarn from 10 different pure breed sheep, focusing on the ones that provide the softest and most beautiful wool for hand knitted projects.
The UK has a long history of sheep farming and has contributed significantly to the development and preservation of many sheep breeds. Although the sheep are native British breeds all of the sheep featured in this collection can be found in the USA and Australia which also have a strong tradition of sheep farming and conservation.
Beautiful black and white photography captures the unique look and characteristics of these wonderful animals that mean so much to fibre lovers around the world.

Great for very sensitive skin!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Tube - 3 oz.
Use this every day. It's my primer. Lol I have extremely sensitive skin to the point where one wrong move lands me in the ER. This worked for me. Slight greasiness but works well for me as I can't wear foundation. This at least hydrates and protects. Love it.

Lightweight glowing hydrating sunscreen
really love how this sunscreen feels so light and smooth on my skin without leaving any white cast at all. It blends in quickly and gives a natural, hydrated glow skin with hyaluronic acid and collagen. My skin feels moisturized all day, and it doesn’t get oily or greasy even after hours. It’s gentle enough for my sensitive skin and hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts. it’s a great everyday sunscreen that keeps my skin protected and fresh.

Lightweight Sunscreen with Great Hydration
This sunscreen feels lightweight on the skin and blends in nicely without leaving a heavy or greasy feeling. I like that it gives SPF 50 protection while also adding hydration, so it works well as part of a daily skincare routine. It leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable. The formula sits nicely under makeup or can be worn alone for a natural look. It absorbs well and does not feel sticky, which makes it easy to reapply when needed. A great option for everyday sun protection with added moisture.

Best sunscreen
I really like this sunscreen. It feels lightweight on the skin and blends in easily without leaving a white cast, which is a big plus. The texture is smooth and moisturizing, but it does not feel oily or heavy. It works well for daily use, especially under makeup, and feels comfortable even on sensitive skin. The SPF 50 PA++++ protection gives good peace of mind for everyday sun exposure. I also like that it has hyaluronic acid and collagen, so it feels more like skincare than just sunscreen. Overall, it is a great affordable Korean sunscreen and I would definitely recommend it.

My honest review
Lightweight Protection with No White Cast I am very satisfied with this sunscreen. The texture is lightweight, it absorbs quickly, and it truly leaves a "no-cast" finish—without that white layer that many sunblocks tend to leave behind. Plus, it feels hydrating thanks to the collagen, so it works beautifully under makeup or on its own for everyday wear. It offers excellent SPF 50+ PA++++ protection against UVA and UVB rays and leaves no greasy residue. The size is convenient for carrying in a bag or taking along on trips. After using it for several days, my skin feels protected, soft, and comfortable, even in hot weather. I would definitely buy it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight, hydrating sunscreen with a natural finish.
