Knitting for Olive / Heavy Merino

KFO Heavy Merino is made of 100% traceable, non-mulesed Merino wool. 

While Merino wool is one of the softest types of wool, 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. KFO Heavy Merino is super strong, long-lasting and wears really well. It’s great for sweaters and can be combined with our Soft Silk Mohair for extra softness and fluffiness. Spun in a way to minimize peeling.

Marketed as a Worsted Weight, however it is on the lighter side of worsted, like a slightly heavier DK. We use it in DK weight patterns often :-)
