Knitting For Olive's 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, we know exactly which farm, farmers, and sheep made our 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.

Love this yarn! Bought it in “Licorice” (Black). Pairs perfectly with the KFO Soft Silk Mohair. I’m halfway into a Petite Knits Elisabeth blouse with this combo, and it’s been such an enjoyable experience so far.
