Specialist care for blocking, reshaping and refreshing cotton and other plant fibres.

Yarn Food Cotton Blocking Spray is a fine-mist treatment for cotton, linen, bamboo, hemp and other plant fibres and their blends.

Use it to block and shape newly finished hand-knits, or simply to refresh favourite plant-fibre garments between washes when they don’t need a full clean.

The light mist helps fibres relax and settle back into shape, while added cotton seed oil helps condition plant fibres and maintain their naturally soft, smooth feel.

1. WHY YARN FOOD?

REFRESH BETWEEN WASHES
Not every cotton or linen garment needs washing after every wear. A light mist can help freshen and revive plant fibres between washes, reducing unnecessary washing and handling.

MADE FOR COTTON & PLANT FIBRES
Designed specifically for cotton, linen, bamboo, hemp and other plant fibres and their blends.

WITH COTTON SEED OIL
Added cotton seed oil helps condition plant fibres and maintain their naturally soft, smooth feel.

IDEAL FOR SPRAY BLOCKING
Our roots are in knitting, and the spray is ideal for reshaping handmade garments between washes — helping pieces that have stretched or relaxed through wear return to their intended shape without repeating a full wet block.

FINE, CONTROLLED MIST
Applies a light, even layer of moisture without saturating the fabric, giving you more control over how much product you use.

2. FRAGRANCE

A light, fresh citrus fragrance with citrus essential oil, designed to leave cotton, linen and other plant fibres smelling clean and fresh without being overpowering.

3. HOW TO USE

TO REFRESH BETWEEN WASHES

  • Lay the garment flat, or hang it where appropriate.
  • Hold the bottle around 20 cm from the fabric and mist lightly and evenly.
  • Gently reshape the garment with your hands if needed.
  • Allow to air dry completely before wearing or storing.
  • For delicate fibres, test first on an inconspicuous area.

FOR BLOCKING

  • Pin the finished piece to the desired measurements and shape.
  • Mist generously and evenly from approximately 20 cm away.
  • Gently shape the fabric, paying particular attention to edges, stitch definition and areas that need adjustment.

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.
