Most of you are probably familiar with Eucalan – gentle to wool, doesn’t need to be washed out, and is great for both blocking and general washing.
Did you know?
There were things I didn’t know about Eucalan until I researched a bit for this giveaway, and some of them may be new to you too.
- Mary Ellen Edgar learned of the no-rinse laundry product while on vacation in Australia, and was so impressed that she started the company after she got back home.
- The name Eucalan is a combination of 2 of the main ingredients – Eucalyptus and Lanolin.
- It’s also great to wash delicates in a travel situation because of the no-rinse. Just wash, let it dry and it’s ready to go!
Eucalan has a lot of uses, and I grabbed this from their site,
Eucalan offers a new spin on laundry and a practical alternative to dry cleaning fine woolens, lace, embellished apparel, stretch materials, silks, wool, cashmere, etc.
I think I need to take my bottle out from under the sink and use it for more than my hand knitting and crochet! I never realized just how practical this is and just how many uses it has.

Good People and Good Product
I’ll leave you with this quote from Mary Ellen Edgar, “[I] remain driven to provide the very best service and the very best product at the very best price – and to succeed at business in a fair and honest way”.
I just love when good product and good people intersect. Makes me feel good that I’ve been using Eucalan for all these years!
Love Eucalan, been using it for years, would love to win some!!!!
I would love to try this product! I’ve heard so many great things about it.
Never used Eucalan before have always used Kookaburra but can’t find any locally since moving. Small town so probably won’t find the Eucalan either but have lots of plied Gotland to wash before knitting. Would love to try some!
Your site is very hard to read because of all the advertisements all over the place. And impossible to print from.
Thanks for your input!
If you use the print button in the upper right of every pattern and tutorial, it allows you to choose what to print or not.
BTW, the ads are there to help pay for the site given all the patterns are free but the designers do get paid for them. Let me know if you have another idea in mind to make it easier for you and still a business for us? I’d love to get another way to make it work!
What a great product!
it is so great to have such an alternative for the care of so many things using this product.
love this concept.
Love this product use for all my hand knits
I would love to try Eucalan.
I would like to try this
Looking forward to winning! 😉
Thank you for this contest!
Eucalan is a great product. Thank you for promoting them
Thanks for sharing this article. I would love to test this product. I knit a lot and haven’t tried this wool wash yet.
I’ve used Eucalan and love it
Eucalan is a go-to product for me – grapefruit scented is my favorite!
I’ve recently discovered Eucalan on my last visit home to the States and I love it! It’s easy to use and smells so fresh 🙂
A great product. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love Eucalan. I taught my niece to handwash her fine woolens (including cashmere) with Eucalan.
I have not tried Eucalan … yet …
After also trying the “other brand”, (my LYS was out of Eucalan), I really want to endorse Eucalan. It leaves my things feeling so much cleaner and fresher! I wish I could exchange my bottle of the alternative. I would love to win a new bottle!
Have heard wonderful things about Eucalan and would love to try it. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love Eucalan, just the best soak around
At first I was wary of Eucalan because of the lanolin content (poor me -allergic to lanolin). As long as my DH does the actual squishing in the Eucalan soak, the lanolin content when the knit is dry does not harm me. That is incredible! I am sold on Lavender Eucalan!
Wow, already love this product! Thanks for the give away
Thank you for the opportunity to win a bottle of Eicalan. I have begun knitting with natural fibers and would like to try Eicalan.
I would like to try this product. Thank you
Thanks for the chance to win! I’ve never used Eucalan before.
Happy new year! Thank you for the opportunity to receive Eucalan. I’ve been wanting to try it.
I give a Eucalan sample size with all knitted gifts. I buy it by the gallon for myself.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Love Eucalan. Nothing like it for hand knits and delicates.
I love Eucalan! It’s my first choice in wool washes!
I would love to try this product. I’ve heard great things about it but haven’t had a chance to get it.
LOVE Eucalan!
I always wanted to try eucalan.
Happy New Year! I have been using Eucalan for several years now and love it. My mother in law, who is 94, gave my a beautiful cashmere sweater that she had stored for several years. It definitely needed a good cleaning. I’m not fond of dry cleaning, so I decided to try Eucalan. The sweater came out so soft and fresh! It’s a great product.
What a lovely giveaway. Lavender is the one I would choose.
it’s great to have a safe wool wash that doesn’t need rinsing! unscented would be my choice
Happy New Year and thank you for this giveaway. This product is just what I need for my knit and crochet lace items.
Would love to try this product. Thanks for doing a giveaway.
Eucalan is great! I use it for washing anything delicate in addition to all my kanknits.
Been loving lavender Eucalan for years.
Would love to try this product!
Love the no rinse properties of Eucalan both for blocking and for knitted items cleaning. So easy.
Lavender is my favorite, but I didn’t realize how many other choices there were.
Heard a lot of good things about Eucalan. Have never tried it but would like to.
After trying other similar washes, Eucalan is definitely my favorite. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to try this,especially for hand knitted socks!
I’m running low on Eucalan. Just love the product. Thank you for offering a gift of something so special.
I have used Eucalan for many many years now. Not only does it keep all my hand knitted items looking like new, I also love that I am not forced to add unwanted scents to my knitted items because they offer an unscented version. It’s a great product that I recommend to anyone that asks.
Love the jasmine !!!
I love this wash! I often include a small bottle with my hand knit wool gifts.
I have used it for close to 20 years. When my son was little his teachers were surprised, because he would wear his handknitted sweaters every day- once it got colder- for close to 2 years(thats,when they got a bit small) , and they kept their shapes and colors through weekly washes. I told them it is the wash I use. And it makes the cotton nice soft.
My absolute favourite of hand wash products. Gentle and effective
Love Eucalan for my socks!
this is a new product for me…I hope I get to try it
Another great idea from Knotions
I love this product! It is my favorite knitwear wash!
Would love to try this on some knitted items.
I absolutely love the Wrapture Jasmine scent, but the grapefruit sound intriguing. When I knit and felt, the lovely jasmine scent negates the wet sheep 🐑 smell of felting wool!😄
I’ve been using Eucalan for several years and can heartily endorse it! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Very happy to read knotions and to participate in this giveaway.
I love Eucalan! I’ve used it for years. My favourite scent is Lavender. Thanks for a fab giveaway. 🙂
I love no-rinse wool washes and would love to try Eucalan! My Mum always put a few drops of Eucalyptus oil on her vacuum filter and the lovely scent would fill our home, clean & fresh. I would love my woollens to have that scent. Thank you for this contest and Happy New Year!
What a good item to wash your hand knitted items and projects with.
Thanks for the giveaway
Great giveaway! Eucalan is the only wool wash I use.
I have always wanted to try Use baby shampoo
Would love to try Eucalan
I would love to try this please enter my name on giveaway.
Thanks Bf
Surprised to hear it was discovered in Australia . Who knew? Beautiful product but difficult to find as three are very few local yarn shops in South Australia
I love Eucalan! I don’t usually like scented products, but the grapefruit is a wonderful fresh scent. I have a pump top on my bottle, so it’s even easier to use 😀
I prefer the natural unscented. A small bottle of it travels with me all the time!
I would look forward to trying this product in ANY scent OTHER than eucalyptus. Living in Australia, this scent is used in most toilet and sink cleaning products. A real turn off for my woollens and delicates 😜
I have heard a lot about this product but have never taken the plunge to purchase. This would be a great way to try the product! Thank you for having the giveaway!
Would love to try Eucalan!
Love the smell of Eucalan
I have used Eucalan for years. I like the unscented or a mild scent for blocking.
I would love to try this product
Love this product and am about to run out of if soon.
I am already a big fan of Eucalan and would love to win a free bottle! Thanks!
I would like to try a scented one!
What a thoughtful giveaway – thank you. I’m a fan of Eucalan’s grapefruit scent.
Eucalan is a great product!
Eucalan is my go to for blocking but I also use it for fine textiles. I love that I don’t have to rinse. Great product!
Happy New Year! Love the giveaway!
Love this info. Love this product. Need this to take better care of my knits. (Hard with 9 kids!) Reminds me of my favorite small business quote: I want to make a living, not a killing.
I use Eucalan for all of my hand knits. I love it!
I have a small bottle of Eucalan that I travel with, just in case!
Happy New Year. I love this product too and the gentle accent it gives my knitted objects. Thank you.
Thanks for having the giveaway!
