Swish DK
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.
