Created by yarn crafters for yarn crafters, Yarn Food is a small UK business based in Devon, specialising in fibre-specific washes and blocking products designed to gently care for the yarns we love most. Their plant-derived, no-rinse formulas are designed to clean, nourish and preserve natural fibres, helping your knits and crochet projects stay soft, fresh and beautifully finished for longer.

No Rinse Washes

Yarn Food’s no-rinse washes are designed to gently clean and condition your handmade pieces without the need for rinsing. Perfect for blocking, refreshing treasured garments, or giving finished projects a little extra care, these washes help fibres stay soft, relaxed, and beautifully nourished wash after wash.

We stock all varieties, including:

  • Wool Wash — formulated for wool and animal fibres such as merino, alpaca, mohair, cashmere and blends, with added lanolin to help restore softness and elasticity. Finished with a subtle lavender fragrance.
  • Sock Wash - designed especially for hardworking hand-knit socks, helping refresh and revive fibres while keeping them soft and comfortable to wear. 
  • Cotton Wash - created for plant fibres and summer makes, helping cotton and linen projects feel refreshed without stripping the fibres.
  • Sensitive Wash - a fragrance-free option for delicate skin and sensitive noses, while still giving your handmade pieces the gentle care they deserve.

The concentrated formulas go a long way, making them a practical addition to every maker’s toolkit - whether you’re blocking a shawl, washing socks, or freshening up your most-worn knits.

How it works

Fill a sink or basin with one gallon, or 4.5 litres, of cold or lukewarm water. Add 3 pumps (5 ml) of Yarnfood Wash and soak your make 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.
