Ideal for indie dyers, this 4-litre container of Yarn Food’s no-rinse Sensitive Wash is hypoallergenic and fragrance free. With soothing and nourishing aloe vera it gently cleanses, softens, and replenishes natural-fibre yarns. It’s perfect for post-dye rinsing, lifting residual dye while adding moisture back into the fibres — leaving them beautifully soft, clean, and comfortable for even the most sensitive skin.

Formulated especially for merino, cashmere, mohair, alpaca, angora, camel, cotton, bamboo, tencel and other delicate fibres, this wash supports your craft by protecting 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, gentle finish — and help your customers make their knits 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.
