Ideal for indie dyers, this 4-litre container of Yarn Food’s no-rinse Wool Wash is enriched with natural lanolin to gently cleanse, soften, and recondition animal fibre yarns. It’s perfect for post-dye rinsing, removing residual dye while adding moisture back into the fibres — leaving them beautifully soft, clean, and lightly scented with calming lavender.

Formulated especially for merino, cashmere, mohair, alpaca, angora, camel, 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 finish — and help your customers make their knits last longer.

1. MORE BENEFITS

IDEAL FOR WET BLOCKING Its yarn-specific formula helps animal fibre stitches relax and open up toblossom. Watch your patterns pop and achieve a finished and professional look every time.

EFFICIENT NATURAL FORMULA WITH UP TO 100 WASHES This plant-derived, dye-, phosphate-, and sulphate free, biodegradable and non bio
detergent with added natural lanolin 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 of wool detergent 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 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 Wool Wash 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.

    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.
