Olivo Vibes 46 Wool 30 Acrylic 14 Nylon 10 Alpaca Cone Yarn · 1/2Nm · Italy

This brushed wool-blend yarn from the Italian house Olivo is spun at a bold 1/2Nm, with long fibers brushed out to create a soft, full halo. Chunky, warm, and lofty with a generous bloom, it knits up fast into plush, texture-rich fabrics, making it especially suited to statement outerwear, blankets, and cozy oversized knitwear.

The color 818 Spearmint Green is a soft, muted mint — cool and atmospheric, with a gentle desaturated tone that feels modern and understated. It is especially suitable for statement knitwear, soft-focus textures, and minimal aesthetic designs built around a considered palette.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. The brushed wool and alpaca bring warmth and softness, while the acrylic and nylon add loft, resilience, and lasting structure to the fiber.

Important Notes

• This yarn is a bold, chunky brushed single — warm, lofty, and quick to knit on large needles
• As a brushed yarn, it has a natural halo and may shed some loose fibers, which is normal for this construction
• For best results, swatch before production to test tension, halo, and fabric density
• Cone yarn is different from skein yarn and must always be swatched before knitting to evaluate shrinkage and gauge
• To reduce shedding, shake the finished piece before washing, or place it in a bag in the freezer so loose fibers release more easily — do not use a lint roller or brush that pulls at the fibers
• As a natural fiber blend, gentle handling and low-heat care are recommended to preserve softness, halo, and prevent felting
• Please note that colors may vary slightly from screen to actual yarn depending on display settings
• Some cones may be rewound onto empty cones without original mill labels
• May have mild outer dust or storage marks
• Sold as is, without retail packaging
• All yarns are 100% functional with no visible flaws or defects affecting usability
• Please note that cone yarn is wound in an industrial format
• In rare cases, internal breaks may not be visible from the outside of the cone
• Please allow approximately 5%–6% waste, which is standard for cone yarn handling
• In case of yarn breaks, pull away about 10 cm of yarn before rejoining and secure with a small cross-knot to reduce tension and avoid distortion in the knitted fabric
