Valley Yarns Valley Superwash Collection

Valley Superwash yarn gives knitters and crocheters a dependable, machine-washable merino base available across nearly every common weight, which makes it easy to substitute into almost any pattern calling for a soft, durable wool.

Picking a Weight

Valley Yarns Valley Superwash DK works well for garments and lightweight accessories, while Valley Yarns Valley Superwash Bulky and Super Bulky speed up blankets and cold-weather hats. The Sport weight is a good middle ground for baby items that need drape without bulk. If you want a similar superwash feel in a different construction, Valley Yarns Haydenville and Haydenville DK are worth comparing side by side.

Caring for Superwash Merino

• Wash in cold water on a gentle or wool cycle, or hand wash with a no-rinse wool wash like Eucalan.
• Lay flat to dry to help the piece hold its shape.
• Avoid high heat in the dryer even though the fiber is superwash treated.

Using It for Colorwork

Because Valley Superwash is multi-ply, stitches stay well defined, so stranded colorwork, cables, and textured stitches all show clearly. Pair it with a pattern from Valley Yarns Knitting & Crochet Patterns or browse Knitting Patterns for more ideas. If you're weaving rather than knitting, check Valley Yarns Weaving Yarn instead.
