Superwash merino wool?
Does anybody know if this exists? I haven't seen it, but given that my LYS are very limited, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just they they don't have it if it is out there. If this is something that is out there, is there a particular brand over another that is a nice one?

I am using this one right now.


I have used this one too.



eta-- just saw your last question. I can't really tell the difference between the two as far as feel and texture. both very nice.


etaa (that's edited to add again) The Artyarns was waaaaaay cheaper than the Dreams in Color though! Dreams in color was a more variegated color and the Artyarns is more stripey.

Swish from knitpicks is a washable merino. They may have a couple others too.

I KnitPick's Swish. It's SO soft.

Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport and Shepherd Worsted are both superwash merino, as well as Karabella Aurora 8 (worsted), Aurora 4 (DK), and bulky. Joann's has a house-brand, Sensations, and their 100% merino is VERY soft, inexpensive, and also superwash. They don't market it as such, but I've run it through the washing machine enough times to know.

HTH!

Wow--I'm so glad I posted my question, because I had no idea that there was so much to choose from! And I had no idea that KP's Swish was merino--I've looked at that yarn over and over again and never did I notice it said that it was merino wool!

I'm going to make a list of these brands, and the next time I visit a more varied LYS, I'm going to check these out. Thanks very much, everybody!!!

I enjoy reading, quilting (started 10/11/2003), bread baking, purse making, making fabric bowls. I use to macramé and decorate cakes.
I started hand knitting (10/01/2005) and got my embroidery machine for Christmas 2005. I had 2 Bond Incredible Sweater Machines given to me in Feb. of 2007 that I'm really enjoying. http://susies1955.myphotoalbum.com/

I love Miss Babs She has some awesome yarns so soft and nice. They don't even bother my wool allergy.
