The Heavy Merino by Knitting for Olive is made of 100% merino wool. This yarn has a beautiful natural structure. It is a soft and delightful yarn, slightly thicker than our fine merino.
Our merino wool comes from sheep raised in New Zealand, where mulesing is not practiced. The wool can be traced directly back to the farm of origin. Thus, we know exactly which farm, which farmers and which sheep produced our wool.
Merino wool has many excellent properties. It regulates temperature. That is to say that wool keeps our body warm in cold weather and releases heat in hot weather, keeping our skin cool. At the same time, wool, like silk, can wick moisture away from the skin and can absorb 30% of its weight without feeling wet.
Wool is also resistant to dirt and requires little maintenance.
The yarn is STANDARD 100 certified by OEKO-TEX®.
The yarn is produced in Italy. Our spinning mill follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals.
Note! Given that computer screens display colors differently, we cannot guarantee that the color of the yarn on your computer screen faithfully reproduces the true colors of the product.
