Fragrance-free specialist care for natural fibres and sensitive skin — at home and on the go.

The Yarn Food Sensitive Wash Bundle pairs our 500 ml Sensitive Wash with a 100 ml Sensitive Wash Mini, giving you the same pure, fragrance-free formula in two practical sizes.

Keep the 500 ml bottle at home for regular hand washing and use the 100 ml Mini for travel, weekends away, gifting, or simply keeping a second bottle somewhere convenient.

Sensitive Wash is our purest and simplest formula, with no added fragrance or essential oils and enriched with aloe vera. It is designed with sensitive skin in mind and is suitable for wool, cashmere, silk, cotton, linen and other natural fibres and blends.

It is particularly well suited to silk, where avoiding added fragrance oils helps preserve the fibre’s naturally smooth feel and lustrous appearance.

Together, the bundle provides up to 120 hand washes, based on 5 ml per 5 litres of soft water.

1. WHY YARN FOOD?

ONE FORMULA, TWO USEFUL SIZES
The same specialist Sensitive Wash in a 500 ml bottle for regular use and a 100 ml Mini for travel, gifting or keeping as a spare.

OUR PUREST & SIMPLEST FORMULA
Sensitive Wash contains no added fragrance or essential oils, making it our cleanest and most uncomplicated wash for delicate natural fibres.

DESIGNED WITH SENSITIVE SKIN IN MIND
Fragrance-free and enriched with aloe vera for gentle care of delicate garments and sensitive skin.

PARTICULARLY SUITED TO SILK
With no added fragrance oils, Sensitive Wash is a particularly good choice for silk and other delicate fibres where you want the simplest possible care routine.

NO REPEATED RINSING REQUIRED
Sensitive Wash uses surfactants that loosen dirt from the fibres and suspend it in the wash water. When you lift the garment out, the loosened dirt stays in 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.

HOME & AWAY
Keep the full-size bottle at home and take the Mini with you when travelling, so your fragrance-free natural-fibre care routine can stay the same wherever you are.

2. FRAGRANCE

Completely fragrance-free.

Sensitive Wash contains no added perfume or essential oils, making it ideal for sensitive skin, for anyone who prefers unscented laundry care, and for delicate fibres such as silk.

3. HOW TO USE

HAND WASHING

  • Fill a basin with 5 litres of cold to tepid water.
  • Add 3–6 pumps (5–10 ml) of Sensitive Wash:
  • 3 pumps / 5 ml for soft water
  • 6 pumps / 10 ml for hard water
  • Submerge the garment and leave to soak for 20 minutes.
  • Gently squeeze out excess water. Avoid rubbing, wringing or excessive agitation.
  • Roll the garment in a clean towel and press out further moisture.
  • Lay flat, hang or block to dry, depending on the garment.
  • 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 primarily as a gentle hand-wash treatment. We therefore recommend using the hand-wash method above for particularly delicate, handmade or treasured garments.

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

  • Use Sensitive Wash on an appropriate wool, delicate or gentle cycle, following the yarn ball’s or garment manufacturer’s washing and temperature instructions.
4. INGREDIENTS

2–10% anionic surfactants; <5% non-ionic surfactants; <5% amphoteric surfactants; aloe vera; phenoxyethanol; potassium sorbate.

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.
