It gives wool fibers left over from the production of other yarns a new purpose, creating a beautiful yarn while reducing waste in the production process.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe recycled fibers are blended with extrafine Merino to create a stronger, more durable yarn than one made entirely from recycled wool. The result is a soft yarn with a wonderfully woolly texture that works beautifully for garments, accessories, and everyday knitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAt 246 yards per 50-gram ball, No Waste Wool is a versatile fingering-weight yarn with a recommended gauge of 28 stitches per 4 inches. It can be used on its own for a lightweight fabric or held double for a more substantial knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eNo Waste Wool is produced in Italy, where Knitting for Olive works with a spinning mill that follows ethical, technical, and environmental standards. The yarn combines thoughtful sourcing with a practical approach to using fibers that might otherwise go to waste.\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 50% Recycled Wool, 50% Extrafine Traceable Non-Mulesed Merino Wool\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fingering\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eYardage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 246 Yards \/ 225 Meters\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eBall Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 g\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 Stitches × 38 Rows = 4\" \/ 10 cm\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Needles:\u003c\/strong\u003e US 2.5 \/ 3 mm\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand Wash in Cool Water; Dry Flat\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMade In:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\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\"\u003eWe love the idea behind No Waste Wool: taking beautiful wool fibers that would otherwise be left over from yarn production and turning them into something worth knitting with.
