Details

Discover the soft strength of Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino

Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino is a beautiful, full yarn that brings together softness, strength, and a natural look. It is made from 100% traceable, non-mulesed merino wool, has a yardage of 125 metres per 50 grams, a recommended needle size of 4.5 mm, and a gauge of around 18 stitches and 30 rows over 10 cm. The yarn is also OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and, according to Knitting for Olive, spun in a way that helps minimise pilling.

Why choose Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino?

• 100% non-mulesed merino wool – Heavy Merino is made from pure merino wool sourced from sheep where mulesing is not practised. Knitting for Olive also states that the wool can be traced directly back to the farm of origin.
  
  
• Warm, strong, and durable – While merino is known for softness, Knitting for Olive describes Heavy Merino as slightly more rustic than their thinner Merino. That also makes it especially strong, hard-wearing, and well suited to garments made for regular use.
  
  
• Beautiful natural structure – The strand has a full, clear woolly structure that helps simple stitches, ribbing, and cables stand out beautifully. This is a grounded usage inference based on its worsted weight profile, gauge, and the brand’s own description of its “beautiful and natural structure.”
  
  
• Perfect for sweaters and mohair combinations – Knitting for Olive explicitly recommends Heavy Merino for sweaters and notes that it can be combined with Soft Silk Mohair for extra softness and fluffiness.

Discover the warm, natural character of Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino and knit timeless favourites with comfort, structure, and durability. “Timeless” and “character” are light stylistic inferences based on the yarn’s full woolly structure, calm presentation, and emphasis on long-wearing projects.
