{"product_id":"knitting-for-olive-heavy-merino","title":"Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino – 100% Merino Wool, Worsted Weight","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eKnitting for Olive Heavy Merino is a warm, durable worsted-weight yarn made from 100% traceable, non-mulesed Merino wool. Compared with Knitting for Olive’s finer Merino, Heavy Merino has a slightly more rustic hand while still offering the warmth, bounce, and beautiful stitch definition of Merino wool.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eWith a gauge of 18 stitches per 4 inches, Heavy Merino is a versatile choice for sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens, and other everyday knits. Its sturdy construction is designed to wear well and minimize pilling, making it particularly appealing for garments that will see plenty of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eHeavy Merino can also be held together with Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair when you want to add extra softness, loft, and a gentle halo. Used on its own, it produces a more classic wool fabric with excellent structure and definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eKnitting for Olive places particular emphasis on traceability and animal welfare. Heavy Merino is made from traceable, mulesing-free wool and is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. Unlike many of Knitting for Olive’s other wool yarns, Heavy Merino is not RWS certified; Knitting for Olive explains that it has not yet been able to source this particular type of Merino wool from RWS-certified farms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFiber:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Merino Wool\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worsted\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eYardage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 137 Yards \/ 125 Meters\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eSkein Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 g\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 Stitches × 30 Rows = 4\" \/ 10 cm\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Needles:\u003c\/strong\u003e US 7 \/ 4.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEKO-TEX Standard 100\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eAnimal Welfare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traceable, Non-Mulesed Merino Wool\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand Wash in Cool Water; Dry Flat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Love It at A Show of Hands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eHeavy Merino fills a really useful place in the Knitting for Olive family, a substantial, warm wool that still has the beautiful color palette and thoughtful sourcing we love from KFO.
