KnitCare pearlized white liquid wash is very mild. It is aggressive enough to remove the oil and dust from the garment without harming its color fastness or the quality of the way the yarn feels. Knit Wash is "earth friendly", contains no phosphates, no bleach and it's biodegradable.

One container holds enough concentrated product to complete 48 washes in the machine or in a large sink. Knit Wash comes with its own teaspoon so you get the perfect measure every time.

The Knitter's Journal has enough room for 60 photographs. You can keep track of the projects you have completed by listing the recipient, date the item was made, the measurements, needle size, yarn type and gauge. You can preserve the belly bands of the yarn and a small clipping of the yarn in place of one of the photos.

Our Needle Cases come in two sizes and have a firm shell to hold your needles in place and prevent them from breaking or stressing in a soft project carry bag. The cases open with a revolving closure that makes it possible for them to remain open when placed on the table. A full needle may be clamped into the case to prevent the stitches from slipping off. Magnetic strips hold the needles in place and our closure system makes it possible to move the magnetic sides of the strip toward the outside of the case for storing needles with WIP's (Work In Progress).

The care of knits depends on the construction of the fiber. Save the belly bands from your yarn to keep a record of recommended cleaning techniques. You can cut out this information and save it in your journal with a clip of the yarn. Repair any pulls or snags prior to washing. Before laundering any garment , fasten buttons and close zippers. If the garment has buttons or fasteners that may catch in the knit remove them prior to washing. You may also want to turn garments inside-out before washing to help prevent snagging. Wash one garment at a time. Delicate or very fine articles may be placed inside a mesh bag for washing.

Dissolve a teaspoon of Knit Wash in the water flow as it enters the basin. Use lukewarm water. Knit Wash will dissolve quickly and the tepid water helps to activate the soap. Gently agitate the item with your hands. Soak for up to 15 minutes. Drain the water and press the item against the side of the basin. Rinse until the water runs clear. Knit Wash will rinse out completely, leaving no soapy residue. Do not twist or wring. Roll the garment in a terry towel to help absorb excess water. Lay the item flat on a screen dryer to help maintain it shape. This is the time to gently shape, or "block" it to its original size. You can draw a schematic of the item on butcher paper before washing so you have a "blueprint" to shape the item to. You want the item to dry as quickly as possible without putting it in direct sunlight. When the item is dry, a quick toss in the dryer can help fluff it back to its original softness.
