Description:
Knitting for Olive’s super-soft merino is produced in Italy following ethical, technical and environmental standards in order to create a yarn free from harmful chemicals and especially suitable for babies and children.
Their knitting patterns compliment their yarns beautifully. They initially created patterns for babies and toddlers and then quickly expanded to children’s sizes, and more recently adult-sized patterns.

Skin softness : 5 /5– Easy to wear against the skin.
Colour palette: 5/5 – An amazing palette of very wearable soft natural tones.

Value for money: 5 /5 – 250m is a generous amount of ethical environmentally friendly yarn!
Wear and tear: 5 /5 – gentle hand washing will always prolong the life of any merino wool.
