Knitting for Olive Merino is one of those yarns that consistently earns its reputation. The 100% merino is spun with enough twist to give it real structure and bounce: qualities that make it as effective for textured stitches and cables as it is for colourwork, where stitch definition matters. The colour range is extensive and thoughtfully curated, with both saturated and muted tones that work together intuitively. Not superwash treated, which is part of what gives it its natural elasticity and character: hand wash and dry flat to keep it at its best. Sourced from Patagonian farms where mulesing is not practiced, with full farm traceability. OEKO-TEX certified.
indulgent fibres with excellent manners
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.
