The Squirrel Heather Yarn is soft and beautiful! It makes a great color for any crochet project.

Whether knit or crochet, the fabric created from Swish is soft and comfy. Ive noticed no pilling even at underarms. I chose the beautiful Dublin green color for warm spring cardigan. We Crochet sent the yarn promptly and without issues.

I used this yarn to make a winter hat and it's the perfect choice. Great color options, perfect weight, easy to work with, soft feel, and the finished result is just what I wanted. I was so happy with the first hat, I've made 5 others and have more yarn for a sixth. Anyone need a cute ribbed beanie?

I enjoyed using this yarn. Very soft and does not itch like other wool yarn. My only frustration was that it split at times. I made a sweater and just want people to know it does stretch and grow longer when project is completed. So you may want to take that into consideration.

I love this yarn. It's so easy and soft to work with. I'm using this for my temperature blanket and it's coming out beautifully.

I honestly didn't know wool could be this soft. Somehow this competes with my 10% cashmere yarns??

I've used Swish Merino Wool for about 15 projects now and love the feel, colors and consistency I've gotten across lots and colors. Whether a sizable blanket, scarf, hat or such, I've come to expect nothing but the best from this line. I consider this my first choice when buying a washable wool. Currently, working on a 10'x6' mixed stitch blanket for my living room using 5-6 different colors of this and everyone comments on the tones and softness when they see it out.

I love this yarn! I wasn't overly thrilled with the Stroll, but Swish is lovely. It's dreamy and soft and squishy. I didn't find any joins or knots (although I found several in the WOTA) and the Ash and Delft colors are gorgeous. I don't think it is overly splitty, but it is also not highly energized. By nature merino will split more than some yarns, and if loosely plied yarn is a peeve, don't buy it ;)

I just used this yarn for the first time. It was for a Golden Hour shawl. It was so soft and the finished project has a lovely drape! It was so easy to work with. The colors were beautiful. I really love it and the price can't be beat!

I love the vibrancy of the Swish Worsted Brights. I don't see Brights listed as a separate line anymore. Regardless, the two colours I used for a baby sweater were very fun - Pickle Juice and Highlighter Yellow (they were also colour fast)! After washing, the yarn relaxed quite a bit, and became even softer.

I bought this after my best friend got the Bare Swish Worsted for a sweater. We're both addicted. It's beautiful yarn and we could hardly believe we got such soft, wonderful 100% SWM for that price! We're both working on sweaters with this yarn and it's so squishy and buoyant, I just cannot wait to use it again.

This is a very nice superwash merino that I use often. The complaints about pilling and stretching are due to either not understanding the nature of a soft superwash wool, or to improper care. Soft yarn pills, period. That is to be expected and is easily remedied with a sweater shaver. Superwash yarn grows when wet and REQUIRES heat to bring it back to shape. Though this yarn is recommended to be laid flat to dry, that will result in a saggy stretched out mess. Run it through the dryer on low heat and check it every few minutes. Once it is just dry enough to snap back into shape, remove it from the dyer to air dry the rest of the way.

Made a sweater w/ Swish Tonal 3 years ago, and my teenaged daughter is wearing it for the 3rd year! Getting a bit short, had to patch a hold courtesy of our cat, and it's been shaved a few times, but it's her favorite sweater that she refuses to give up. It's held up beautifully, and I just made her a new one using 4 of the solid colors. Seems to stretch more than her first one. Still love it, since she said it's super soft, very warm, and not itchy at all. It's by far my favorite yarn. Please bring back the Tonals!

Have loved this yarn for baby blankets! Blocks beautifully and is so soft after it goes through repeated washings. Really wish there was a cream or ivory shade. Please consider adding one! The white is too stark to combine with most of the other shades.

I have been very happy with this yarn. I do mostly amigurami on small hooks and I have not noticed any excess splitting. I am also using it in an blanket I am making and it is working up beautifully. I haven't ordered a lot of different colors, but the ones I have I would say are slightly darker than pictured, but not so significantly that I would consider it a problem.
