Knitting for Olive Merino 100% Extra Fine Merino Wool Yarn

We introduce Knitting For Olive’s Merino, fingering weight knitting yarn made of 100% extra fine Merino Wool. The yarn is available in 50g balls and 250m of Knitting for Olive's signature quality and exceptional color selection. The colors have been specifically curated to cater to Scandinavian style, and draw inspiration from the beauty of nature.

Knitting for Olive’s Merino Wool comes from sheep bred in Patagonia, where mulesing is not practised. The wool can be traced directly back to the farm it comes from. In this way, KFO knows exactly which farm, farmers, and sheep made their wool.

Merino wool has many excellent properties. It is temperature-regulating which means 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 - air the knit often and handwash when needed.

The yarn is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified
