Cotton Merino from Knitting for Olive takes the breathability and drape of cotton and adds just enough merino to give it bounce and better stitch definition than a pure cotton yarn can achieve. The result sits at the lighter end of fingering weight: close to lace: making it ideal for warm weather garments, lightweight shawls, and any project where you want fabric that moves and breathes. Not superwash treated; hand wash recommended. The cotton content means it will soften and relax with washing, which suits the drapey nature of the yarn. Colour range is consistent with the broader Knitting for Olive palette.
indulgent fibres with excellent manners
Cotton merino is a yarn that we would categorize as a polite hedonist. A polite hedonist loves luxury but keeps its manners. These yarns are made from indulgent fibres that feel wonderful to work with and create soft, wearable fabrics: luxury that behaves itself beautifully.
Still worth a proper introduction: swatch before committing, especially when substituting. And when it comes time to wash, treat finished pieces gently so the fibres can stay at their best.
