Sock Wash by Yarn Food

SKU:  YFSW100

Weight:  0.1 kg


Specialist care for socks and hardworking natural fibres.

Socks work harder than almost anything else in your wardrobe. Yarn Food Sock Wash is a gentle, fibre-conscious wash designed to clean and freshen wool, merino and other natural-fibre socks — whether they’re hand-knitted, bought or worn every day.

The carefully considered formula cleans while added lanolin helps condition animal fibres, leaving them soft and beautifully cared for. Tea tree oil gives Sock Wash its naturally crisp, clean fragrance.

Its low-foam, no-rinse formula also means less handling and agitation of delicate fibres during washing.

MADE FOR HARDWORKING NATURAL FIBRES
Socks experience repeated wear, friction and washing. Sock Wash is formulated at a fibre-friendly pH of 5.0–5.5 to clean them while caring for delicate natural fibres.

WITH ADDED LANOLIN
Lanolin helps condition animal fibres and maintain their soft, supple feel — particularly useful for wool and merino socks.

WITH TEA TREE OIL
Tea tree oil gives Sock Wash its distinctive fresh, clean fragrance and makes it particularly suited to frequently worn socks.

NO REPEATED RINSING REQUIRED
Sock Wash uses surfactants that loosen dirt from the fibres and suspend it in the wash water. When you lift the garment out, the loosened dirt stays in the water rather than settling back into the fibres. Because the formula is low-foaming, repeated rinsing isn’t needed. This means less handling and agitation of delicate fibres during washing, while allowing the conditioning ingredients to remain in the garment.

FOR HANDMADE AND EVERYDAY SOCKS
Ideal for hand-knitted socks, merino walking socks, wool socks and other natural-fibre favourites.

UP TO 60 WASHES
Based on 5 ml per 5 litres of soft water.
