Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino
Traveling to us from lovely Denmark, Knitting for Olive yarns are ethically created with high quality, natural fibers. Founded by a mother & daughter, the family business is passionate about responsible yarns that inspire & bring joy to crafters around the world.
Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino is made of 100% traceable, non-mulesed Merino wool. While Merino wool is one of the softest types of wool, our Heavy Merino is a bit more rustic and less soft than our thin Merino. The reason being is the wool is taken further from the sheep’s skin. Heavy Merino is super strong, long-lasting and wears really well. It’s great for sweaters and can be combined with Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair for extra softness and fluffiness. Heavy Merino is spun in a way to minimize pilling.
Heavy Merino is made of traceable, mulesing free wool. The traceability ensures that we know which farms the wool comes from, and thereby can ensure that the animals are well taken care off and the farmers are well treated and have good working conditions.
