Eucalan 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 – JasmineThis 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 – CedarThis 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 – ScentlessThis 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+NoteI 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!

The fragrance of this gentle effective hand wash is perfect! It removes all the dirt and leaves the most soft and pleasant sent.

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.

This Jasmine scent smells so beautiful and the scent stays in the clothes. I used for general laundry in the washing machine and it was lovely. I did it with a rinse (which the wash says is not necessary with this product), and without. The fragrance tayed beautifully. I am aware of fragrances and Tide was just horrible and so strong I could smell it all day on my clothes, and this instea is a wonderful soft scent that I can enjoy but I am not clobbered by it all day.

Update 7/12/23: It's still my favorite detergent for woolen items! It works wonderfully on 100% mulberry silk pillowcases❤️Update 10/22/20: I have been using this product for almost four years now. This is the only product I will even consider for my woolen items. It strips out heavy campfire smoke, softens up the wool with the lanolin, and smells INCREDIBLE. My fiancé got jealous about my sweaters so now he asks for me to wash his. He simply loves the scent too. I will be a customer for life!April 2017: I was very hesitant that the jasmine scent would be appealing to me since I only like truly natural scents. Having previously been a florist I am pretty picky about the floral fragrances. This one is not 100% "natural" smelling, but I found myself falling more and more in love with it with each use. Now I want to enrobe myself in this scent. I started washing all of my wool items just so I could smell this more often! And the gentleness is impressive. It cleaned out some bad odors from a few of my items with a short soak and no agitation. I was shocked!

This is the best product for washing sweaters. It is especially good for wool because it contains lanolin, a natural oil secreted by sheep. I lent a cashmere sweater to a friend who unfortunately washed and dried it. I thought it was ruined until I re-washed it in Eucalan and laid it flat to dry. It completely restored the cashmere, good as new. The Wrapture fragrance is absolutely delicious! This product is a little pricey, but it is worth every penny.

This wash for wool garments that doesn't require rinsing is really nice. It has a light jasmine fragrance while soaking but not noticeable after garment is dry. Protects the wool and softens the fibers for a lovely feel. I use a teaspoon for a wash, so I expect this large container to last a while.
