Remember back in July when we had “Animal-Free” Fibre Day? Well, this week, our Sale celebrates ‘All things Animal Fibre’. Think...wool, merino, silk, alpaca, llama, angora, mohair.

Yes, I know it seems a bit early to be thinking about wool – ‘hats, mitts & scarves’, etc., b-u-t...we ARE in the middle of August, which means that September is just around the corner and with it comes Fall weather, shortly followed by Winter. So, perhaps now IS a good time to be thinking ahead, casting on and getting ready for cooler nights and winter days???

GLEENER DRYER DOTS – an Eco Fabric Softener & Dryer Accelerator!

In lieu of harsh chemicals, Gleener Dryer Dots harness the natural properties of wool for eco & effective fabric softening that shaves dryer time by 15% - 30%.

Softens, separates & fluffs fabrics naturally with their gentle (and uber quiet) tumbling motion.
Saves time, money & energy by 15-30%; 100% wool composition soaks up excess moisture and increases the air circulation in your dryer.
Fragrance-free & hypoallergenic; safe for those with sensitive skin, asthma, and allergies. You can even use them to soften baby clothes and cloth diapers. Need we say more?
Fabric-friendly: gentle on all dryer-friendly fabrics, leaving behind no icky chemical residues.
Durable and re-usable; guaranteed to last 1,000 loads – that’s three years worth of laundry! (Sorry).
Choice of two colour options: grey or solid ivory (brand new)

Directions:

Toss into the dryer and run the cycle as usual.
Smile - you'll be done laundry that much sooner!
Use 3 dryer balls for small loads and 6 for medium to large loads. When not in use, just leave them in the dryer with the door ajar, in a laundry basket, or store them unsealed in their re-usable packaging.

You get the idea...

If the yarn is made from an animal fibre – IT’S ON SALE.
If the yarn contains a high percentage of animal fibre – IT’S ON SALE.

And what better way to care for you woollens (as well as your non-woollens) than with our very effective, best selling no-rinse woolwash?!? Thus, we are including all of our Eucalan products in the sale this week, too!

Eucalan Wool Wash

Have you heard ... NO RINSING!! A powerful cleaner, yet so gentle! Eucalan is non-toxic, biodegradable, phosphate free and made in Canada.

Clean all your natural fibres with Eucalan – including wool (of course!!), alpaca, mohair, angora, silk, cashmere, rayon, cotton. But that’s not all! Use it to clean baby clothes, including toys, workout & swim wear, lingerie, hosiery, quilts, woolens, needlepoint, embroidery, carpet, upholstery, sheers, drapes, & pets. Yes, you read that right – PETS. Pets benefit from being washing in non-toxic Eucalan. The lanolin helps to condition their skin and hair/fur while the EUCALYPTUS essential oil helps to repel fleas.
