More Benefits

Ideal for wet blocking: Its yarn-specific formula helps animal fibre stitches relax and open up. Watch your patterns pop and achieve a finished and professional look every time.

Efficient natural formula with up to 100 washes per bottle: This plant-derived, dye-, phosphate-, and sulphate free, biodegradable and non bio detergent with added natural lanolin only needs 5ml - or 3 pumps - per wash which makes 500 ml go a long way.

Pump Bottle for easy measuring and no waste: The pump lid makes dispensing small amounts of wool detergent clean and easy. No more gloopy caps or fingers, just 3 pumps give you a clean and accurate measure every time. Say no to waste and yes to the planet.

Prepares for storage: The lavender essential oil will add an extra layer of protection against fibre-hungry moths. We recommend storing your winter woollies in breathable cotton storage bags and add moth repellents.

Perfect travel detergent: Just add 3 pumps of Yarn Food Wool Wash 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 liters, of cold or lukewarm water. Add 3 pumps (5 ml) of Yarnfood Wool Wash and soak your garment for 20 minutes. Gently remove from the water, squeeze without wringing, and roll up in a towel to squeeze the remaining water out. Lay flat or block to dry.

Mashine 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.
