Knitting for Olive (Denmark) – Cotton Merino – 16 colours are now in stock. Light fingering weight, (50g – 250m) great for summer vests and also for holding with other lace weight yarns to produce a sportweight yarn. £8.50 inc VAT per ball.

Knitting for Olive’s Pure Silk is made of 100 % bourette silk. Bourette silk is made of silk waste created during silk processing. The short, leftover silk fibers are spun into a new yarn. It has a rustic and uneven look and is less shiny than other types of silk. This is the perfect yarn for summer tops and summer dresses, but it will also make a luxurious sweater combined with Silk Mohair.

Pure Silk – 50g – 250m. £10.50 inc. VAT per ball. Currently 22 colours in stock.

Loved wearing this sweater this season, made with Knitting for Olive’s pure silk, the pattern is called Blouse No.1 by myfavouritethings.knitwear . It is very comfortable to wear and it did knit up quite quickly once I put my mind to it, as it was knitted with 5mm needles with the yarn held double.

Shop closed on SUNDAY 30th June and TUESDAY 2nd July 2024 for a short break.

Will be visiting family in N.Ireland and will be back in the shop again on Wednesday 3rd July 2024.
