Knitting for Olive: Heavy Merino

Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino is a durable, beautifully structured 100% merino wool yarn made from traceable, non-mulesed fleece and certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

Spun with strength and longevity in mind, Heavy Merino has a slightly more rustic, grounded feel than their lighter Merino base, as the fiber is taken further from the sheep’s skin. The result is a yarn that is less soft to the touch, but exceptionally hard-wearing, with excellent stitch definition and a smooth, even fabric that holds its shape beautifully over time.

It is ideal for sweaters and everyday knits, and can be paired with Soft Silk Mohair for added softness, halo, and warmth. The construction is designed to minimize pilling, making it a reliable choice for garments that are worn often and loved for years.
