Heavy Merino from Knitting for Olive is aran weight merino that doesn't behave like most merino. Without superwash treatment, it retains the natural elasticity and character of the wool: meaning better stitch definition, more texture, and a fabric that has genuine presence rather than the uniform softness superwash can produce. It's an excellent choice for cables, textured stitches, and sweaters where you want the knitting to do the talking. Hand wash and dry flat; the lack of superwash treatment means it will felt if agitated in hot water, but treated well it's a very rewarding yarn to work with.
