Knitting for Olive No Waste Wool Slate Green

Traveling to us from lovely Denmark, Knitting for Olive yarns are ethically created with high quality, natural fibers.  Founded by a mother & daughter, the family business is passionate about responsible yarns that inspire & bring joy to knitters around the world. 

Responsible, eco-friendly & ethically sourced No Waste Wool is a blend of 50% recycled wool & 50% Extrafine, traceable, non-mulesed Merino wool.  The wool is Global Recycle Standard & Responsible Wool Standard certified.  All of the recycled wool is waste from the production of other wools that receives a new life in this lovely yarn.

The plied, fingering weight yarn has a heritage wool hand & is gorgeous knit into accessories & garments.  It is also wonderful combined with Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair to add extra softness & fluffiness, as well as depth of color.  The gentle halo adds a beautiful, rich character to sweaters, cardigans, hats, cowls & scarves.

The relaxing palette includes a curated selection of wearable, nature-inspired neutrals.
