Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino

Knitting for Olive's Heavy Merino is made of 100 % traceable, non-mulesed Merino wool. While Merino wool is one of the softest types of wool, their Heavy Merino is a bit more rustic and less soft than their thin Merino. The reason being is the wool is taken further from the sheep’s skin. Heavy Merino is super strong, long-lasting and wears really well. It’s great for sweaters and can be combined with our Soft Silk Mohair for extra softness and fluffiness. Heavy Merino is spun in a way to minimize pilling. 100 % non-mulesed merino wool, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Gauge: 18 sts and 30 rows = 4 in / 10 cm Needles: 4.5 mm / US 7 Worsted weight, 50g = 136 yds / 125m Hand-wash in cool water, dry flat
