Knitting for Olive Merino Yarn

Knitting for Olive Merino

Knitting for Olive merino wool comes from sheep bred in Patagonia, where mulesing is not practiced. The wool can be traced directly back to the farm it comes from. In this way, they know exactly which farm, farmers, and sheep made their wool.

Merino wool has many excellent properties. It is temperature-regulating. That is, the 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.

The merino wool is independently certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), certified by Control Union, CU 1276494.

This yarn is produced in Italy with high respect for animal wellbeing and with social responsibility and the spinning mill follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals.

The yarn is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified
