Our hand wash basin with a drain hole helps knitters and crocheters go the extra mile when caring for carefully crafted natural fibre handmades to preserve their bounce and texture for longer.

The lightweight, collapsable and sturdy basin features a drain hole at the bottom so that water can be released straight into the kitchen sink while the garment remains in place for gentle pressing to remove excess water. This prevents stretching and straining precious natural fibres and extends their lifespan.

Dimensions:

Upright: 20 x 30 x 31 cm - Collapsed: 9 x 30 x 31 cm

1. MORE BENEFITS

PERFECT SIZE FOR THE KITCHEN SINK. The drain hole basins fit into most kitchen sinks so that you can easily release water while keeping your freshly soaked yarnments clean and tidy.

HANDY AND VERSATILE. The handles allow the basin to be carried easily when filled with water and make it versatile for many different uses.

3. HOW TO USE

Place the basin in your kitchen sink and soak your garment as instructed. Open the drain hole at the bottom of the sink to release the water from the basin, then gently press remaining water out of the garment before carefully removing it from the basin taking care not to pull or stretch it to preserve its fibres and texture.

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.
