Heavy Merino by Knitting for Olive

A soft and ethical yarn in a wide range of colors

Available online and at Maison Cottée Gilford

This merino wool comes from sheep raised in Patagonia, where mulesing is not practiced. The wool can be traced directly back to the farm it came from.

Merino wool has many excellent properties. It regulates the temperature. In other words, wool keeps our body warm in cold weather and releases heat in hot weather, allowing our skin to stay cool. At the same time, wool, like silk, wicks moisture away from the skin and can absorb 30% of its weight without feeling wet.

The yarn is STANDARD 100 certified by OEKO-TEX®.
