  • knitting for olive

    We are a family business dedicated to helping knitters enjoy their craft with ethical, responsible yarn and inspiring patterns. Our vision is to always offer the highest-quality yarn, created from pure natural fibres with respect for animals, workers and our environment. Our RAF certification is your guarantee that our wool comes from animals treated with respect and according to the five freedoms of animal welfare.

  • cotton

    Cotton is a plant fibre made from the cotton plant (surprise!). It is absorbent, soft, very easy to care for and a popular choice for garments and household items like washcloths and towels. As a plant fibre, however, it will not retain warmth very well, so is less ideal for warmer winter items.

  • merino wool

    Merino sheep create a wool with a long, smooth fibre that is lightweight, warm, and soft. Like all wool, it has excellent breathability and does an excellent job regulating temperature in garments. It is a very popular type of wool to use for hand knitting yarn, and is a great choice for socks and garments worn close to the skin.

  • mulesing free

    Mulesing is a controversial farming practice used, predominantly in Australia, to prevent the parasidic infection flystrike. While mulesing prevents infection, it is a very painful procedure for the animal to endure, and more humane alternatives exist. This practice is banned in many areas of the world. If a yarn is marked as mulesing free, that means that no animals were treated this way during the production of the yarn.

  • oeko-tex standard 100

    OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a label for textiles tested for harmful substances. It sets the benchmark for textile safety, from yarn to finished product. Every item bearing the STANDARD 100 label is certified as having passed safety tests for the presence of harmful substances. For our purposes, this is likely to refer to the dyes that are used on fibres and yarns.
