Abstract
Using the ideas from the BPS/CFT correspondence, we give an explicit recursive formula for computing supersymmetric Wilson loop averages in 3d Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory on the squashed sphere with one adjoint chiral and two antichiral fundamental multiplets, for specific values of Chern-Simons level and Fayet-Illiopoulos parameter . For these values of and the north and south pole turn out to be completely independent, and therefore Wilson loop averages factorize into answers for the two constituent theories. In particular, our formula provides results for the theory on the round sphere when the squashing is removed.
