I am super excited to announce that I now stock Yarn Food Sock Wash! I absolutely adore using this for my handknit socks and now I can help spread the word to other sock enthusiasts 😊
100ml no-rinse sock wash is now available to buy from my website and in-person at shows.
Our Sock Wash is expertly designed for knitters to effectively clean, nourish and preserve hand-knit socks so that they last you longer.
In addition to the gentle no-rinse formula, we added antimicrobial tea tree oil as a natural antidote to bacteria, fungi and odour, while lanolin feeds moisture back into the fibres. This way your socks will stay fresh, fluffy and in shape for longer.
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 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.
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.
WE SOURCE LOCALLY As a family business based in the British countryside we know what community means and care greatly to preserve it. This is why we source all our ingredients locally from small businesses like ourselves, because we believe in a world where people still matter and businesses care.
FRAGRANCE
Tea tree oil has a crisp and clean note which subtly enhances your spirits as you go about your day feeling refreshed from head to toe.
