Eucalan Fiber Wash Review & Giveaway

November 4, 2015 30 Comments

Eucalan Fiber Wash Review & Giveaway

Eucalan is a fiber wash originally designed for woolens. The founder of Eucalan, Mary Ellen Edgar, invented Eucalan after discovering a no rinse laundry product in Australia. Living in the country necessitated being conscious of water consumption, so a no rinse laundry solution was perfect for her home. According to the Eucalan website:

The derivative of the company name, Eucalan, is the combination of two of the prominent ingredients from the original product formula — eucalyptus and lanolin. The eucalyptus scented product is still available along with sweet-smelling lavender (which like eucalyptus has moth-inhibiting qualities) and grapefruit, which has natural disinfectant properties.

Eucalan works well with a variety of fibers, including delicate clothing that you didn’t knit yourself. I’ve used it to clean things like bras and the lining of my new purse after my gum melted all over it (smooth move, I know). I also use Eucalan for blocking and washing finished knits. They work great, plus each of the 4 scented varieties of the wash are really nice, even if you’re not the biggest fan of scented products. And for those of you who are very scent-sensitive, there’s a Natural Eucalan that has no added scent.

Eucalan Fiber Wash Review & Giveaway

Enter to win a Eucalan Gift Pack!

    I saw this product in a yarn store and almost bought it, now I wish I did. I bet the grapefruit smells delightful! I’m a novice knitter so I can’t wait to get to the point of needing to block and give everything a signature scent.

    I think this stuff is the greatest– the eucalyptus is pleasant and doesn’t smell antiseptic at all (think throat lozenges/cough drops). The lavender would be a nice alternative, as well.

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!
