Knitting For Olive HEAVY Merino
Knitting for Olive Merino is sourced from Patagonia, where it is responsibly and ethically sourced. This wool is certified by the Responsible Wool Standard, where the certification ensures that both animals, farmers, and the environment are treated respectfully. The certification protects the Five Freedoms of animal welfare, which mean freedom from hunger and thirst, freedom from discomfort, freedom from pain, injury and disease, freedom to express normal behaviour and freedom from fear and distress.
Yarn details:
- 100% non-mulesed Merino wool, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified
- Worsted weight
- 136 yards (125 meters) per 50-gram ball
- 18 stitches and 26 rows over 4” on a US #7 (4.5 mm) needle or hook
- Handwash, lay flat to dry
In your hands:
Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino has a smooth, round ply that shows off texture and cables beautifully! We also love it for colorwork projects because the 50-gram balls make it easier to create a palette with the exact amounts you need.
