Knitting for Olive's merino wool comes from sheep bred in Patagonia, where mulesing is not practiced. The wool can be traced directly back to the farm it comes from.
Merino wool has many excellent properties. It is temperature-regulating. That is, the wool keeps our bodies warm in cold weather, and releases heat in warm weather, keeping our skin cool. At the same time, wool, like silk, can carry moisture away from the skin, and can absorb 30% of its weight without feeling wet. Wool is also dirt-repellent and requires minimal care.
The yarn is produced in Italy by a spinning mill that follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals. The yarn is certified according to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®.
