Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino is a structured yet comfortable 100% merino wool yarn, ideal for timeless garments that are made to last. Its slightly rustic character gives excellent stitch definition and durability, making it perfect for sweaters, hats and everyday knitwear.
While the yarn feels firm on the needles, it softens beautifully after washing and wear. The result is a breathable, temperature-regulating fabric that keeps you warm without overheating – a true all-season wool.
Heavy Merino works beautifully on its own for clean, classic knits, but can also be combined with mohair or other fibers for added softness and a lighter feel.
