Yarn Food Sock Wash

Yarn Food Sock Wash natural no-rinse detergent is expertly designed for knitters to effectively clean, nourish and preserve hand-knit socks so that they last longer. Your socks will stay fresh, fluffy and in shape for longer.

In addition to the gentle no-rinse formula, Yarn Food added antimicrobial tea tree oil as a natural antidote to bacteria, fungi and odour, while lanolin feeds moisture back into the fibres.

EFFICIENT NATURAL FORMULA This 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 even 100 ml go a long way.

PUMP BOTTLE FOR EASY MEASURE 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 WINTER 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.
