Knitting for Olive is a Danish yarn company known for creating a coordinated range of yarns that can be used individually or combined to achieve different fabrics and textures. Each base has a distinct purpose while sharing a consistent colour palette, making it easy to mix fibres across projects.
The collection includes Merino, Heavy Merino, Cotton Merino, Pure Silk, Soft Silk Mohair, and Compatible Cashmere. Whether you're knitting lightweight summer tops, everyday sweaters, children's clothing, or layering pieces, each yarn is designed to perform well on its own or paired with others in the range.
Many knitters combine Soft Silk Mohair with Merino, Heavy Merino, or Cotton Merino to create a warmer fabric with a soft halo. Compatible Cashmere can be held with Merino to add softness and warmth while maintaining good stitch definition. Pure Silk offers a breathable option for lightweight garments and accessories, while Cotton Merino combines the comfort of cotton with the elasticity and structure of merino wool.
Together, the collection provides a cohesive range of yarns that can be used individually or combined to create fabrics for a wide range of projects.
