Wool Wash - 300ml

MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR ANIMAL FIBRES - Different fibres have different needs. Wool Wash has been formulated especially for wool and other animal fibres, with a fibre-appropriate pH of 5.0–5.5.

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 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, while allowing the conditioning ingredients to remain in the garment.

FOR EVERYDAY FAVOURITES AND TREASURED PIECES - Ideal for cashmere jumpers, merino layers, wool cardigans, scarves, delicate knitwear and other animal-fibre garments.

IDEAL FOR HAND-KNITS AND BLOCKING TOO - Our roots are in knitting, and Wool Wash remains a lovely finishing wash for handmade garments and wet blocking.

UP TO 60 WASHES - Use 5 ml / approximately 3 pumps in soft water or 10 ml / approximately 6 pumps in hard water per 5 litres of water.

The subtle, essential-oil based lavender fragrance makes your knits smell clean and fresh without overpowering the senses.

Hand washing

Fill a basin with 5 litres of cold to tepid water.

Add 3–6 pumps (5–10 ml) of Wool 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 or block to dry.

There is no need for repeated rinsing.

Always follow the garment care label, particularly for temperature and whether the item is suitable for washing.

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.
