Ideal for indie dyers, this 4-litre container of Yarn Food’s no-rinse Cotton Wash is enriched with natural cotton milk to gently cleanse, soften, and condition plant-fibre yarns. It’s perfect for post-dye rinsing, helping lift residual dye while restoring smoothness and suppleness to the fibres — leaving them beautifully soft, clean, and refreshed with a light, natural finish.

Formulated especially for cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo, and other plant-based fibres, this wash supports your craft by caring for the yarn you’ve lovingly dyed.

Whether you're preparing skeins for retail or simply restocking a studio essential, this trade-size format offers better value, less waste, and more time between reorders. Give every skein a professional, fibre-friendly finish — and help your customers make their handmade pieces last longer.

    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.
