What started with chunky knits made for you by Team Olannmor has grown into a happy place full of yarn for you to knit and weave with.
Knitting kits
We're delighted to see the art of knitting is making such a comeback, across all generations.
With that in mind we design lots of different knitting kits using very soft super chunky Merino wool, suitable for beginners and intermediate knitters. We even have tutorial videos for all techniques you'll need. The hardest decision you'll have to make is which stunning colour you'd like to work with.

Weaving kits
The perfect way to use those bits of yarn too short to knit with. But be warned: weaving is very addictive!
These kits include a loom plus all other tools you may need. And most imporantly; a carefully curated yarn bundle. The bundles include a great selection of yarns like wool, cottons and linen and come in different colourways to get you started. Of course you'll also get printed and video instructions to start making some beautiful pieces of wall art.

There where it all began.
We make a variety of chunky knitted blankets, wreaths, hot water bottles, baskets and scarves. Knitted in our County Wicklow studio using the famous roving Merino wool.
Plus, lots of these chunky knits also come as knit kits!

Workshops
We run a selection of workshops, where we teach you to knit a beautiful blanket, hot water bottle cover, wreath or weave a wall hanging. Nothing beats sharing your passion for a craft with new people!
We have scheduled workshops during the colder months of September to March, but also host private workshops on a date that suits you and your group.

The yarn we use
Using natural materials only has been non-negotiable since day one.
Our wool, both roving and super chunky weight, is a high quality pure Merino wool which still has all its natural qualities like being water, stain, and smell resistant, breathable and temperature regulating. And it’s hypoallergenic!
We take great care in selecting the wool, making sure we only source our wool from countries where it is produced in an animal-friendly manner and that it is dyed in a responsible way.
The other yarns, mainly used for weaving, are all natural too. Many of them are recycled surplus fashion textiles or plant-based yarns.

Wool care Merino roving wool
The un-spun Merino wool will start pilling in case of heavy use. Should pilling occur, just carefully pull the little balls off the product or use scissors to cut them off.
When you have just received your product, you may notice the product is shedding its loose hairs. Don’t worry about this, the shedding will reduce over time. Take your product outside, give it a good shake or even hang it outside on a misty morning.
Small spills can be cleaned by dabbing with cold water. Make sure not to rub the wool and lie flat to dry.
We strongly recommend not washing your product. Just airing it will freshen it up again. And if necessary, dry clean professionally.
Wool care super chunky Merino yarn
