1. MORE BENEFITS

IDEAL FOR WET BLOCKING Yarn Food's yarn-specific formulas help natural fibre stitches relax and open up to blossom. Watch your patterns pop and achieve a finished and professional look every time.  

EFFICIENT NATURAL FORMULA WITH UP TO 100 WASHES PER BOTTLE The plant-derived, enzyme-, dye-, phosphate-, and sulphate free, biodegradable formula only needs 5ml - or 3 pumps - per wash which makes 500 ml go a long way.

PUMP BOTTLE FOR EASY MEASURE AND NO WASTE The pump lid makes dispensing small amounts clean and easy. No more gloopy caps or fingers, just 3 pumps give you a clean and accurate measure every time. Say no to waste and yes to the planet.

PREPARES FOR WINTER STORAGE The lavender essential oil for wool and tea tree oil for socks will add an extra layer of protection against fibre-hungry moths. We recommend storing your winter woollies in breathable cotton storage bags and add moth repellents.

PERFECT TRAVEL DETERGENT Just add 3 pumps of Yarn Food handwash detergent to a water-filled sink, leave 20 minutes to soak, squeeze out water, lay out flat or hang to dry. No machine or effort needed. You’re on holidays after all. 

WE SOURCE LOCALLY As a family business based in the British countryside we know what community means and care greatly to preserve it. This is why we source all our ingredients locally from small businesses like ourselves, because we believe in a
world where people still matter and businesses care.

3. HOW TO USE

Fill a sink or basin with one gallon, or 4.5 liters, of cold
or lukewarm water. Add 3 pumps (5 ml) of Yarn Food Wash and soak your garment for 20 minutes. Gently remove from the water, squeeze without wringing, and
roll up in a towel to squeeze the remaining water out. Lay flat or block to dry.

The natural no-rinse soak formula not only cleans
effectively with a small amount. It also saves water and makes washing your items a breeze without rinsing. Because repeated rinsing stresses your yarn fibres and speeds up their ageing process. With Yarn Food you simply soak your yarnment, squeeze out the water and lay flat or block to dry. As a result your handmades will thank you with prolonged vitality and health. 

Washing machine: Suitable for regular or HE machines. Add 9 pumps (15ml) into detergent drawer or directly into the machine. Wash on wool or delicate cycle following your yarn’s care instructions.

    CUSTOMER REVIEWS

    Whilst blocking, the knitted fabric seemed to retain its integrity instead of stretching out of shape so this process was easier than with just water or with other wool detergents.

    FAQs

    Why does the water look darker after soaking my knit socks?

    Please always test your yarns for colourfastness before washing. The natural cleaning agents in the formula will gently remove grime and dirt from your garment, which will be visible in the basin when you remove your item from the water. For very soiled socks, you can repeat the soaking process twice, or until satisfied with the outcome.

    CAN I SOAK MY SOCKS FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES?

    In most cases it is safe to soak your socks for longer than 20 minutes, however, we always recommend checking the care information of the yarn you’ve used and special requirements.

    Can I use YarnFood in the washing machine?

    Yes, you can use Yarn Food in the washing machine on a wool or delicate cycle. Add 15 ml, or 9 pumps, either directly into the machine or into the detergent drawer. Your garments will still be cleaned and fed, but some of the nourishment may be washed out in the rinsing process, which is why
    the hand-wash and soak option is the preferred method for Yarn Food.

    Testimonials

    Just removed my shawl from blocking boards. It feels lovely and softer than before soaking. I love that a small amount can be enough and that it does not create too much foam.
