Knitting for Olive's yarns are traceable, which means that the manufacturer knows exactly which farm the yarns come from. Knitting for Olive's merino wool comes from Patagonian mulesing-free sheep and the mohair from South African goats. The wool and mohair are certified, which means that the manufacturer follows strict regulations to ensure the social welfare of the animals as well as the farmers.

The silk used in Knitting for Olive's yarns is ethically produced (Cruelty Free). Silk is made from silk fibers that have been collected and produced into thread only after the snails have been allowed to develop into adult silk moths and they have flown away. This allows the larvae to complete their life cycle instead of killing the silkworms in the process as in conventional silk production.
