Meet Smooshy, one of Dream in Color's best-sellers. This 85% Superwash Merino, 15% Nylon yarn comes in stunning colors inspired by the plays of light within nature. The veil dyeing process used for this yarn brings depth and life to color. While Smooshy has all the unique characteristics of other hand-dyed yarns, it will not landscape or pool while it's working up!
I love this yarn it feels great in my hands, has good stitch definition, subtle and interesting color changes, and withstands being frogged multiple times I'm working on my first self-designed lace project...
I may be the only one who does not like this yarn as the other reviews seem to be good. I heard this was a great sock yarn and ordered a skein to give it a try. I have worked with some wonderful sock yarn in the past, but this was not one of them. The yarn felt harsh and hard in my hands. I literally hated the way it felt to knit with. I don't know if it softens after washing, but that would only mean that there is a LOT of sizing in the unwashed yarn. If it doesn't soften, then I would never want to feel it on my foot. I threw it away.
This is a go-to yarn for sock-a-holics! The socks are comfy, long wearing, & the color Cloud Jungle goes with my Jeans!! It wash well, and doesn't pill, knit up beautifully, even when I was fairly new to sock knitting. Will knit with it as often as I can!
