Bestsellers: The Yarns Our Customers Keep Coming Back For
Some yarns keep appearing again and again – in orders, wishlists, messages asking, “Do you still have this?” These are our bestsellers. Not because we promote them heavily, but because they prove what makes a good yarn: They knit up pleasantly, look great finished, and hold up. Project after project, season after season.
Our Top-Selling Yarns
Knitting for Olive Merino (Fingering, 250m/50g) has been at the top for years. Over 90 carefully curated colors, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, and a feel that ranges from Sock Yarn to sweater yarn. Soft enough for baby clothes, durable enough for socks. This is no accident – it’s a thoughtfully designed yarn. More in the Knitting for Olive Brand Guide.
Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino (DK-like, approx. 125m/50g) is the faster-knitting sibling of the Merino. Same color range, same quality – just with more substance per row. Ideal for sweaters, hats, and all projects where you want to see progress quickly.
Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair (Lace, 225m/25g) is our most popular Mohair Lace – 70% Superkid Mohair, 30% Silk. An indispensable companion for KFO Merino or Heavy Merino. The combination of a Fingering base and this mohair creates a quality that can’t be achieved with a single yarn.
Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light (Fingering, 100% Superwash Merino) is the hand-dyed alternative for those who don’t want to knit solid colors. Deep shades, each ball unique. More in the Madelinetosh Brand Guide.
Holst Garn Supersoft (50% Merino, 50% Shetland Wool) is known for a softness that’s unusual in wool yarns. Perfect for sweaters, jackets, and pieces where comfort is top priority. More in the Holst Garn Brand Guide.
Rauma Finull (Fingering, 185m/50g) is the standard for everyone knitting Stranded Colorwork. Highly twisted, shape-retaining, clear Stitch Definition – in a color palette made for colorwork. More in the Rauma Brand Guide.
What Makes a Yarn a Bestseller?
The yarns that sell best almost always share the same qualities: a wide color range (so every customer finds the right one), reliable quality across many orders, and a value that proves itself in the finished piece. Bestsellers aren’t made by marketing – they’re made by repeat orders. That’s our best mark of quality.
