Swish is pretty much the perfect yarn: it's soft, it's warm, it's machine washable, and it comes in a variety of weights and lots of colors ... what more could you want?! DK, worsted, and bulky weight Swish yarns are all 100% Fine Superwash Merino Wool (plus there's a fingering weight version in Bare if you want to dye your own!). |

And boy, does it! Reflections is downright gorgeous, and the fact that it’s a summery cotton and linen blend just makes it absolutely perfect in my book. |

After such a long, wet winter here in the Pacific Northwest, everyone at Knit Picks has been looking forward to the noticeably greener (and hopefully dryer) spring season. The trees have started to leaf out, the daffodils have bloomed their little hearts out and our knitting queue has taken a turn toward lightweight cotton garments and cheerful spring colors. Our favorite spring landmark is EARTH DAY! Every year we take a moment to celebrate the eco section of our offerings. Alexis and Hannah sit down to chat about our Oeko-Tex and GOT certified yarns.
