Lanificio dell’Olivo
focuses on excellence
Prato-based leading manufacturer of fancy yarns since 1947
Lanificio dell’Olivo is one of Italy’s longest-running and most-recognised textile brands. Fully conscious of this great responsibility, the company has chosen to focus on new people, production capacity, processes, and technologies developed entirely with a focus on sustainability. Its objective is to provide the fashion world with a selection of innovative fancy yarns in two collections per year, which clients can customise as
required.
Lanificio dell’Olivo is constantly striving to apply the concept of sustainability with regard to the environment, the health of workers and consumers and animal welfare, producing products that meet high standards of quality and safety, reducing waste and consumption and enhancing reuse and circularity. A little over a year since the tragic floods that hit the company, the management implemented a relaunch plan to transform the disaster into an opportunity. Called Back to Excellence, it involved all dimensions of the company and was designed with a ‘green field approach’.
The long-standing company, a centre of Made in Italy excellence, quickly regained its renowned capacity for innovation, quality and excellent service. In particular, by offering new products, reinforcing the focus on sustainability and investing in the stock service that ensures immediate availability of items and reduces customer response times. Its Spring/Summer 2026 collection features its renowned fancy yarns, alongside highly versatile and easy to use solutions, for women’s men’s and genderless knitwear, in addition to extremely refined and sophisticated yarns.
