OLIVE MY LOVE
A Complex Olive Green — Where Warmth Meets Whispered Coolness
Olive My Love sits in the balance, shifting between earthy warmth and subtle cool shadow. It’s the green that moves with the light, sometimes golden and sunlit, other times deep and foresty. This versatile shade invites exploration, pairing effortlessly with both warm tones and cooler neutrals.

Care
We recommend gentle hand-washing with a mild wool wash (Eucalan is our favourite!) and laying flat to dry. Avoid excessive agitation and heat (unless you're felting intentionally!). Thoughtful care and proper storage will help preserve the beauty and longevity of your yarn and finished pieces.
Hand-Dyed Yarn Tips
To keep your yarn looking its best, store it out of direct sunlight as prolonged exposure can cause sun bleaching and fade the colours.
While all yarn is washed in our studio after dyeing, some colour bleeding may still occur. Swatching and blocking with a gentle wool wash is recommended, especially for colourwork projects. If needed, pre-washing yarn or blocking finished garments in cold water with a splash of vinegar can help reduce any colour bleeding.
Hand-dyed yarns vary naturally from skein to skein. To create a more even fabric and avoid pooling, we recommend alternating skeins throughout your project.
