Our unscented, hypoallergenic Blocking Spray for Sensitive Skin is expertly designed for yarn crafters to nourish and preserve natural yarn fibres without irritating sensitive skin.

Washing your handmades too often can damage the protective coating of the fibres and reduce the lifespan of your garment as a result. Extend the time between washes by giving your lovingly crafted yarnments a refresh, a reshape and some nurturing nourishment.

YarnFood’s specially formulated blocking spray for knitters and crocheters will revive the texture of your carefully crafted projects by giving them that nourishing touch for a renewed professional look.

1. MORE BENEFITS

PERFECT FOR TRAVEL Knits can smell stuffy and look
tired when carried around in a suitcase and exposed to varying climates and levels of humidity. Giving them a feed to freshen up will be much appreciated by their fibres.

EASY TO USE WITH SIMPLE SPRAY ACTION The bottle has a simple spray action with a very fine spray that evenly distributes Yarn Food Blocking Spray across the garment - no dribbling or leaking which means you waste less liquid and the bottle will last you for longer.

MADE WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS & LOCALLY SOURCED The ingredients for our plant-derived, non-toxic biodegradable formula with added lanolin are sourced locally from small businesses, because we
believe in a world where people still matter and businesses care.

2. FRAGRANCE

YarnFood Blocking Spray for Sensitive Skin is fragrance-free.

3. HOW TO USE

Pin your garment to dimension and lightly spray from a distance of 20cm. Avoid soaking the fabric. A fine coat of mist will suffice to feed plant fibres with nourishing cotton milk while freshening it up with a subtle citrus fragrance. Gently pad the garment into shape while the formula is sinking in. Leave to dry.

The specifically developed formula for nourishing natural fibre yarns works with and harmonises your handcrafted fabric to revive its texture and feel refreshed. It's like a spa for your knits.

4. KEY COMPONENTS

Aqua, 2-10% Anionic Surfactant, 2-10% Non-Ionic Surfactant, 2-10% Amphoteric Surfactant, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate

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.
