Knit Picks 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! Swish Worsted is a medium weight yarn that will help you outfit the whole family in record time. Even those with sensitive skin will love the feel of baby soft merino, making this perfect for cuddly and warm sweaters and next-to-skin accessories like cowls and scarves.
