Additional details
Swish is the superwash of knitters' dreams! By selecting high-grade Merino wool (20.5 microns), we have been able to produce a machine-washable yarn that is super soft—definitely worthy of being worn against a baby's skin. Just the ticket for children's clothes, afghans, charity knitting, and gift knitting. No need to worry about the care your knitting will receive since this yarn can be machine-washed and will come out even softer than before!
Lightweight Swish DK is ideal for Fair Isle and other stranded colorwork, making warm and colorful hats, mittens, and pullovers. The extra soft merino is gentle enough for the most delicate skin, while convenience machine washability makes this the ideal yarn for pampering your wee ones.

Note: For best machine wash results, turn the garment inside out (when possible), and wash separately in cold water on a delicate cycle. You may want to wash projects made from darker colors by themselves for the first few washes in case the yarn bleeds a bit.

Love the color and feel of this yarn except the shade of green was much darker than I expected, it looks almost brown. Making a plaid throw for family on the East Coast. Would recommend.

I'm a first-time user of this yarn. I bought it to make a beanie for myself and I love how it came out. It's a perfect weight, and very soft and comfortable. Now I'm looking forward to cooler weather so I can wear my new hat, and I want to find other things to use this yarn for.

I loved this yarn, It is so soft. I used this yarn for a sweater vest for my sister and she absolutely loved it. It is a lovely quality yarn.

I was searching for an alternate yarn for a lovely but expensive yarn I buy from overseas for making little crocheted animals. This yarn is perfect and comes in many more colors than the one I was using, so I was able to make crocheted Grinches this holiday season!

Very soft and squishy! It purchased this neutral to compliment other colors for a shawl. It will be perfect!

I just finished a sweater for my granddaughter, and this yarn was wonderful to work with. I am now starting a second sweater in the same pattern with the same yarn. The amethyst heather color was perfect.

This yarn exceeded my expectations ! Every color I ordered was beautiful and yarn is soft that goes to SUPER soft after washing ! It even got some beautiful halo after the first wash and blocking and I am already planing bunch of new projects using this yarn. I now regret buying some more expensive and high end yarns since I see no difference in the "feel" or durability; actually this one now looks superior, to be honest. I like that softness does not translate into "limpness" as it is the case with some other yarns. Just lovely !!!

This yarn surpassed my expectations. It is extremely soft and easy to work with. When blocking, you can stretch your project a LOT. The crochet lace shrug I was making opened up beautifully. Will definitely purchase again.

I'm new to crocheting and got my feet (or hands?) wet with some cheapy acrylic yarn from the local craft store. But then I ordered this Swish DK to create a scarf for my mom and WOW! Love this yarn! It's a pleasure to work with - it's consistent and it has body. The color - garnet heather - is just gorgeous. Seems a luxury. I'm sold! Back for more...

This is so soft and so squishy, and gets even better after washing. However, I do find it pills, and it grows a lot while washing (air dry does not restore size) so do a swatch then adjust accordingly. To restore the size I finally gave in and tossed it in the dryer, which turned out just fine as long as you have patience to de-pill. Nonetheless I love it so much I'll buy this again.

I was a little disappointed in the feel of this yarn at first, it seemed a little too scratchy for something that touches the face. But after a wash, it becomes *incredibly* soft and drapey. I think this is going to become my go-to merino wool!

Oh my goodness... just got my first order of Swish DK and wish I would have ordered it in about a dozen more colors and also in worsted!! For the price, this has to be the MOST gorgeous yarn I have found anywhere! It is incredibly soft and cozy - softest wool I've found so far! Going to be making a reversible stocking hat for hubby with this yarn... he will absolutely LOVE the softness and cozy feel!! Can't wait to get it finished! Will definitely be ordering more Swish, in both DK and worsted. (are there more swish weights? Off to have a look!) And I really appreciate how quickly I received my order - fabulous! Also love the free shipping available... as soon as I have another "extra" $50, I'll be ordering again! :) Fabulous yarn and very good price on it!
