Complete specialist care for washing, refreshing and reshaping cotton and other plant fibres.

The Yarn Food Cotton Wash & Refresher Set pairs our 300 ml Cotton Wash with our Cotton Blocking & Refresher Spray, giving you a complete care routine for cotton, linen, bamboo, hemp and other plant fibres and blends.

Use Cotton Wash when your garment needs a full clean, and reach for the Cotton Refresher Spray between washes to freshen and reshape fibres without putting the garment through another full wash.

Both formulas are designed specifically for plant fibres and contain cotton seed oil to help maintain their naturally soft, smooth feel.

Ideal for everyday garments, treasured pieces and handmade items alike.

1. WHY YARN FOOD?

ONE SET, TWO LEVELS OF CARE
Wash when your garment needs a full clean; refresh between washes when it simply needs freshening or reshaping.

MADE FOR COTTON & PLANT FIBRES
Designed specifically for cotton, linen, bamboo, hemp and other plant fibres and blends.

WITH COTTON SEED OIL
Both products contain cotton seed oil to help condition plant fibres and maintain their naturally soft, smooth feel.

REDUCE UNNECESSARY WASHING
Not every garment needs a full wash after every wear. The refresher spray helps freshen and revive plant fibres between washes, reducing unnecessary washing and handling.

IDEAL FOR HANDMADE PIECES TOO
Our roots are in knitting. Use Cotton Wash for the first wash and full wet block, then use the spray later to reshape handmade garments between washes without repeating a full wet block.

FRESH CITRUS CARE
Both products have a light, fresh citrus fragrance designed to leave plant-fibre garments smelling clean without being overpowering.
2. FRAGRANCE

COTTON WASH
A light, fresh citrus fragrance.

COTTON REFRESHER SPRAY
A light, fresh citrus fragrance designed to freshen cotton, linen and other plant fibres between washes.
3. HOW TO USE

COTTON WASH — HAND WASHING

  • Fill a basin with 5 litres of cold to tepid water.
  • Add 3–6 pumps (5–10 ml) of Cotton 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.
  • 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 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.

COTTON SPRAY — TO REFRESH BETWEEN WASHES

  • Lay the garment flat, or hang it where appropriate.
  • Hold the bottle around 20 cm from the fabric and mist lightly and evenly.
  • Gently reshape the garment with your hands if needed.
  • Allow to air dry completely before wearing or storing.
  • For delicate fibres, test first on an inconspicuous area.

COTTON SPRAY — FOR BLOCKING

  • Pin the finished piece to the desired measurements and shape.
  • Mist generously and evenly from approximately 20 cm away.
  • Gently shape the fabric, paying particular attention to edges, stitch definition and areas that need adjustment.

    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.
