Delicate Wash Wrapture - Jasmine Large 16.9 Oz, (WLG)

As a hand knitter, blocking is an important technique in getting your hand knitted items into a desired shape by redistributing the stitches, without stretching it out or damaging the fibers. Plain water can be used for this purpose but to keep the natural fibers soft and to preserve the natural lanolin oils found in theses fibers, a wool wash is more efficient. I have purchased and used this item, along with The Laundress Wool & Cashmere Shampoo, Cedar, 16 fl. oz. – 32 loads and Soakwash Liquid Laundry Wash, 12-Ounce, Scentless . Here is my comparison of all three items: 1. Eucalan Delicate Wash Wrapture – Jasmine This is a no rinse wash that contains a touch of lanolin to naturally condition fibers. I used this wash on several Lopapeysas that I hand knitted with scratchy Icelandic wool. I simply poured about 2 capfuls per gallon of cold water and let the sweater sit overnight. I squeezed it out and laid flat to dry (on a blocking mat) the next day (shaping if necessary). This wash was perfect in softening the wool and gave it a light jasmine scent. Grade A+ 2. The Laundress New York Wool and Cashmere Shampoo – Cedar This is a highly concentrated wool and cashmere shampoo that contains lanolin and cedar extracts. I also used this wash on hand knitted Lopapeysas and a fisherman’s sweater for my husband. I did the same process using about 2 capfuls per gallon of cold water and let the sweater sit overnight, however, this shampoo (it’s sudsy and soapy), requires rinsing. I rinsed with cold water until it ran clear then squeezed it out and laid flat to dry (on a blocking mat) the next day (shaping if necessary). I also recommend this shampoo for washing (cleaning) wool items that have been soiled or sweaty. It works wonderfully on my husband and children’s ski wool items and base layers. This wash was perfect in softening the wool and giving it a lovely cedar “woodsy” smell that is perfect for the “manly” man yet still subtle and feminine for the “girly” girl! Grade A+ 3. Soak Wash for Hand Knits – Scentless This is a gentle no rinse formula that’s phosphate free and perfect for people with sensitive skin or sensitive noses! I use this for all my hand knitted baby and children’s items (form socks and hats to sweaters and blankets) and hand knitted items I give as gifts. I think this one would be perfect for other delicate items such as lingerie. I follow the same method, as with the other washes (soak, squeeze and rinse, lay flat to dry). This wash was perfect in providing the softness without the fragrance! Grade A+ Note I cannot comment on how any of these washes/shampoos preform on machine washed items as I’ve only done them by hand. None of my items have shrunk using any of the above washes/shampoos. I highly recommend any of the above three for your wool, cashmere, or natural fiber items!

I just received this today and love it already. I had never tried Eucalan before and I washed some vintage handmade wool winter caps that have seen a lot of use. Sweat and oil odors from use was pretty strong and I wondered if this would work to take out those odors. It did and left the caps with a nice light jasmine scent . They haven't dried yet but I can already tell it worked wonders on caps that I didn't know if they could be saved or not, and little to no rinsing makes it valuable for the lanolin and preserving them. Yay! I plan on washing all of my woolens with this , I've already ordered a second bottle.

So simple and effective! Gets sweaters very clean. The scent of the sweater remains after drying and it’s delicious. ( I chose Jasmine)

Smells great. Cleans my socks without irritating my skin. A little goes a long way. Leaves my wool soft and clean.

Smells lovely and washes beautifully. Love the no rinse option! A little goes a long way.

I love scents, but this jasmine is a bit much for me. Doesn't smell like jasmine, smells more artificial. But others seem to love it, so YMMV. Otherwise it's a good product, used it to hand wash cashmere. The smell does linger.

Update: While wet, the smell is irritating and I start sneezing as I'm sensitive to it. When it dries, it's fine. But it took about 2 days to dry so I might switch to the unscented anyway. Two days of sneezing is just too much. Original review: I'm not a product scent person. I prefer unscented things, but this is really pleasant. I love that you don't have to rinse it. It saves a lot of time. I bought an Oxo fine washable flat dryer rack just for this, washed a heavy sweater and a bra, and they came out well. They haven't dried yet so I'll see what they look like then.

I recently bought this to use for my cresta wool leggings and after I washed them they were so soft and smelled so amazing. I decided to try it on my flannel shirts because washing them in regular detergent always makes them feel rough to the touch. I was absolutely thrilled at how super soft the shirts felt after washing them. I have also used it on cashmere and sherpa fleece. It works great on everything. I will never use regular laundry detergent for any of those items again. I use either the rinse cycle or the delicate cycle on my front load washer with a tsp or less of the product depending on how many and what type of items I'm washing, and it leaves everything feeling, looking and smelling amazing. I love it. Update 3/30/24 - I now use this exclusively on all of my laundry. I just love the smell so much and I love how nice it makes all my clothes feel. I'm totally addicted to this stuff. A little goes such a long way and the beautiful scent lingers on my clothes and it's just lovely.
