Long Winter Sweater Soap is made using the same old fashioned method as their people soap, but formulated to clean and refresh your knits with lots of coconut oil and lanolin. This formula is palm-free and packaged without any plastic whatsoever. It's also gentle on your skin, so it can pull double duty in a pinch!
Scent: Unscented
About 5-6oz per bar.
Superfatted to 5%, tested on friends (and their sweaters), not animals. Each bar comes in its own little muslin bag and wrapped in recycled brown paper printed with title and ingredients.
Ingredients: Water; Lye; Coconut, Rapeseed, and Olive Oils; Lanolin;
To use solid sweater soap, all you have to do is get a sink full of water cloudy with soap before adding your garment, either by letting the water run over the bar or by washing your hands into the soaking water. Remove the soap, let your garment get all happy and relaxed for about half an hour with occasional gentle agitation, rinse, and block as usual.
Never scrub your knitwear directly, and if you're concerned about colors bleeding, soak those swatches before committing to a whole project!

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
The best thing to do is hand wash you garment (and any other wool garments) in the sink using warm water (not at all hot) and a small amount of gentle soap, we recommend Long Winter Soap Co. Sweater Soap, available in the Mercantile Section on this site.
Gently spot clean stains and extra grimy spots with your hands being careful not to wring or pull, as that will stretch your garment. Rinse clean using cold water, this will get all the soap out.
Now take your garment and place it in your washer machine and spin out the extra water. If you don't have a washer at home lay your garment out on a couple of towels and roll it up to get out the extra water.
Finally, block your garment into its original shape and allow to air dry flat on a clean towel. In the sun or by a wood stove will speed up the process.
Remember to flip it over so the backside dries as well.
This process will keep your knits looking good and lasting for a long time!
NOTE: This is the same process I use for cleaning my superwash yarn. Although it is technically machine washable, I find that my knits last much longer when they are handled with the most care.
