More Benefits
Efficient natural formula with up to 100 washes: The plant-derived, dye-, phosphate-, and sodium laurel sulphate free, biodegradable non-bio handwash formula with added tea tree oil and lanolin only needs 5ml, or 3 pumps, per wash which makes 500ml go a long way.
Pump bottle for easy measure and no waste: The pump lid makes dispensing small amounts clean and easy. No more gloopy caps or fingers, just 3 pumps give you a clean and accurate measure of 5ml every time. Say no to waste and yes to the planet.
Prepares for storage: The tea tree essential oil will add an extra layer of protection against fibre-hungry moths. We recommend storing your hand-knit woollen socks in breathable cotton storage bags and add moth repellents.
Perfect travel detergent: Add 3 pumps of Yarn Food’s hand wash liquid for knitters to a water-filled sink, leave 20 minutes to soak, squeeze out water, lay out flat or hang to dry. No machine or effort needed. You’re on holidays after all.
Locally sourced: Yarn Food is a family company based in Devon. They source all their ingredients locally from small businesses, because they believe in a world where people still matter and businesses care.
How to Use
Hand wash: Fill a sink or basin with one gallon, or 4.5 litres, of cold or lukewarm water. Add 3 pumps (5 ml) of Yarnfood Sock Wash and soak your socks for 20 minutes. Gently remove from the water, squeeze without wringing, and roll up in a towel to squeeze the remaining water out. Lay out flat or block to dry.
Machine wash: Suitable for regular or HE machines. Add 9 pumps (15ml) into detergent drawer or directly into the machine. Wash on wool or delicate cycle following your yarn’s care instructions.
