Hand Wash Kit Wool

A GENTLER WAY TO HAND WASH
Wet wool can become surprisingly heavy. The drainable basin lets you release the water without repeatedly lifting a saturated garment from the sink, helping reduce unnecessary pulling, stretching and handling of the fibres.

MADE FOR WOOL & ANIMAL FIBRES
Wool Wash is designed specifically for wool, merino, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, angora and other animal fibres.

WITH ADDED LANOLIN
Lanolin helps condition animal fibres and maintain their naturally soft, supple feel.

NO REPEATED RINSING REQUIRED
Wool Wash uses surfactants that loosen dirt from the fibres and suspend it in the wash water. When you drain the basin, the loosened dirt leaves with the water rather than settling back into the fibres. Because the formula is low-foaming, repeated rinsing isn’t needed.

This means less handling and agitation of delicate fibres during washing, while allowing the conditioning ingredients to remain in the garment.

IDEAL FOR WET BLOCKING
Our roots are in knitting. The basin gives handmade pieces plenty of room to soak for their first wash and full wet block before being gently removed, towel-dried and pinned to shape.

FOLDS FLAT FOR STORAGE
Once you’re finished, the lightweight basin collapses down for easy storage until the next wash.

WOOL WASH — HAND WASHING

• Open the basin and fill with 5 litres of cold to tepid water.
• Add 3–6 pumps (5–10 ml) of Wool Wash.
• Use 3 pumps / 5 ml for soft water.
• Use 6 pumps / 10 ml for hard water.
• Submerge the garment and leave to soak for 20 minutes.
• Open the drain in the base of the basin and allow the wash water to run away while the garment remains supported inside.
• Gently press the garment to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing, wringing or excessive agitation.
• Transfer the garment to a clean towel, roll it up and press out further moisture.
• Lay flat or block to dry.
• There is no need for repeated rinsing.
• Always follow the yarn ball’s or garment manufacturer’s washing and temperature instructions.

MACHINE WASHING

Our No-Rinse Washes are designed to nourish your garments as a hand-wash treatment. We therefore strongly recommend using the hand-wash method above, as the long-term conditioning effect of the added lanolin cannot be guaranteed when machine washing; repeated machine rinsing may progressively remove lanolin from the fibres.

If you still choose to use Wool Wash in the washing machine:

• Use Wool Wash on a wool or delicate cycle, following the yarn ball’s or garment manufacturer’s washing and temperature instructions.
• For particularly delicate, handmade or treasured garments, we recommend hand washing.
