The wool can be traced directly back to the farm it comes from, allowing us to know exactly which farm, farmers, and sheep produced our wool. All of our wool is independently certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), certified by Control Union, CU 898826.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool has many excellent natural properties. It is temperature-regulating, keeping the body warm in cold weather while releasing heat in warmer weather to help keep the skin cool. Like silk, wool can carry moisture away from the skin and can absorb up to 30% of its weight without feeling wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis yarn is produced in Italy with high respect for animal wellbeing and social responsibility. Our spinning mill follows ethical, technical, and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals. The result is a beautifully soft, lightweight, and responsibly produced merino yarn designed for comfortable, timeless pieces to be worn and enjoyed season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Yarn Studio","offers":[{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Dusty Banana","offer_id":55167914901845,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Unicorn Purple","offer_id":55167911887189,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Artichoke Purple","offer_id":55167911854421,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Robin","offer_id":55167911821653,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Bordeaux","offer_id":55167911788885,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Dusty Artichoke","offer_id":55167911756117,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Pea Shoots","offer_id":55167883182421,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Dusty Olive","offer_id":55167867027797,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Bottle Green","offer_id":55167866995029,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Poppy Blue","offer_id":55167866962261,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Blue Tit","offer_id":55167866929493,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Bark","offer_id":55167866863957,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Knitting for Olive Merino - Thunder Cloud","offer_id":55167866896725,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/7326\/7029\/files\/Knitting_for_olive_merino_rodkaelk_5341_1024x1024_2x_5bd4d29c-dba8-4ca1-a264-382d7799f35a.webp?v=1790863360","url":"https:\/\/blueyarnstudio.co.uk\/products\/knitting-for-olive-merino","provider":"Blue Yarn Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
