Just Landed! Knitting for Olive Yarns

Just landed! When looking for new yarns for fall at fibre space, we came across Knitting for Olive, and instantly fell in love with their luxurious yarns and impeccable color palette. Their pattern designs are simple but stunning and will be wonderful lifelong additions to your wardrobe.

This mother-daughter team of Copenhagen, Denmark first started designing knitwear patterns for babies and toddlers, and then added adult-sized patterns. In their effort to improve the knitting experience, they created Knitting for Olive yarns. Their vision is to offer high-quality yarns made of pure natural fibers, created with respect for both the animals and our environment.

Their Merino yarns are sourced in Patagonia, and are mulesing-free. The wool can be traced directly back to the farm it comes from. The yarn is produced in Italy. The spinning mill follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals.

The Mohair comes from angora goats bred in South Africa, and the yarn is also produced locally in Denmark. The yarns are traceable back to the individual farms. The Mohair is certified sustainable and RMS (Responsible Mohair Standard). The yarn is produced with high respect for animal wellbeing, and with social responsibility. Their spinning mill follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals. The Silk in their Soft Silk Mohair is cruelty free. The silk fibers are collected from cocoons after the chrysalises are allowed to mature into moths and escape. This means that the silk worms are not killed in the process as they are in conventional silk production.

We are bringing three of their yarns to you – Merino Fingering, Heavy Merino (worsted) and Soft Silk Mohair (lace). Each of these can be used on their own, or combined! We will also have Knitting for Olive patterns available for adults and kids knitwear. These are specifically designed for use with Knitting for Olive yarns. You’ll find gorgeous colors and textures to inspire you!

You can shop all of the yarns on our webshop!
