ABOUT 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 our thin Merino. The reason being is the wool is taken further from the sheep’s skin. It is super strong, long-lasting and wears really well. It’s great for sweaters and can be combined with mohair for extra softness and fluffiness. It is also spun in a way to minimize peeling.
