Hand dyed in muted shades of red-violet, golden olive and persimmon(muted cool orange); the colors make me think of olive groves and vineyards, hence the name, which is a region known for this agriculture in these crops.

This is a 2ply 100% Superfine Merino wool lace weight yarn. It is slightly heavier and springier than a lot of lace weight yarns which makes it much easier to work with, especially for those new to lace knitting.

Items knit from this yarn are very light and airy, and warm; yet still have a nice body and stitch definition. It's softness and delicacy are wonderful to wear. Perfect for shawls and scarves.

The put up is 50g skeins to make it easier to buy only the quantity you need for your project. Yardage for the skeins is 385 yds. Recommended needle size can range from 3-6 (3.25mm - 4.00mm)
