Knitting for Olive - Heavy Merino
Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino consists of 100% Merino wool. The yarn has a beautiful and natural structure. It is a soft and delicious yarn, slightly less fine than our thin Merino.
Our merino wool comes from sheep bred in Patagonia, where mulesing is not practiced. The wool can be traced directly back to the farm it comes from. In this way, we know exactly which farm, farmers, and sheep made our wool.
Merino wool has many excellent properties. It is temperature-regulating. That is, the wool keeps our bodies warm in cold weather, and releases heat in warm weather, keeping our skin cool. At the same time, wool, like silk, can carry moisture away from the skin, and can absorb 30% of its weight without feeling wet.
Wool is also dirt-repellent and requires minimal care.
The yarn is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certificeret

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Hand dyed yarn care
We pre-wash our yarn with delicate soap before releasing to the wild.
To continue to care for our yarn, we strongly recommend using
- delicate detergent for wool and silk,
- hand wash in cool to room temperature water, and
- dry flat.
Avoid washing it in washing machine and dryer even though it says "superwash" or on lowest heat and rpm setting. Agitation from tumbling will cause the fibre to pill and in the worst case, shrink and felt.
Ensure fully dry and store away from the sun to prevent discoloration.
