It is rare to find merino wool that is this thick. Nothing compares to the joy of a chunky, quick-knit project! Even more so when what you knit is super snuggly and a dream to wear. Maximo is designed to be a yarn for faster projects ideal for beginners or those who enjoy a quick sense of achievement.

Merino wool is one of the finest and most exclusive fibers available with a unique shine and softness. Its high elasticity allows free body movement and is resistant to wrinkling and sagging. Due to the fineness of the fiber it does not cause any itching when worn directly on the skin making it the perfect choice for even the most sensitive skin. Merino wool is also highly breathable and has excellent thermoregulating properties. In addition, it absorbs up to a third of its dry weight in moisture without feeling damp. The result: Merino warms in winter and cools in summer. The lanolin residues that are found in the yarn safeguard against odor-causing bacteria.


Maximo goes through a biotechnical process called Lanazym, the wool is treated with enzymes, which significantly reduces its tendency to felt and pill. At the same time, all the natural properties of the fiber are retained. Thanks to its internal spring-like structure, merino wool is a naturally resilient and stretchy fiber. Its inherent protective outer layer will prevent stains from being absorbed, and its anti-bacterial properties will destroy odors. Because of its self-cleaning properties, airing your merino garment out after wearing it will usually do the trick. However, when needed, merino wool can be washed in the washing machine using a wool cycle and cold water. It won't shrink and it won't wrinkle either!

More Care tips: Items made from Maximo can be machine washed at 30 degrees. It's recommended to use a wool-specific detergent such as Eucalan and select a delicate cycle on the machine. Afterward, lay the piece flat to dry, preferably on a terrycloth towel to prevent deformations. Please avoid drying the item directly on a heat source or in direct sunlight. If needed, the Maximo item can be ironed on the lowest setting. 

The merino fibers for Maximo come from Argentine and are GOTS-certified. This certification focuses on animal welfare and guarantees that the working environment is safe, workers receive fair pay, there is no child labor or excessive working hours. This is done through regular inspections of the entire supply chain; from the farms to the washing, spinning, and dyeing processes to bring you a yarn that is 100% organic. Maximo is spun and dyed in Italy.
