Eucalan No Rinse Delicate Wash
 |
The Eucalan has finally arrived and it’s fabulous. It comes in 500ml and 100ml refillable bottles and also 1-wash sachets and wipes. Apologies – it’s not up on my website yet.
Eucalyptus Scent : Eucalan’s Eucalyptus No Rinse Delicate Wash is scented with essential oil of eucalyptus which is a natural moth and flea inhibitor, so use it regularly on woolens and particularly before storing them for the season. The lanolin enriched formula helps to naturally condition fibres and keep static away. Use on all your delicates like sweaters, lingerie, hosiery, comforters, down jackets, bathing suits and baby items. An excellent choice for men. |
 |
Grapefruit Scent : Eucalan’s Grapefruit No Rinse Delicate Wash is scented with essential oil of grapefruit which is a natural antiseptic - particularly nice when washing garments that lie close to the skin like hosiery, workout wear, bathing suits and lingerie. The lanolin enriched formula helps to naturally condition fibres and keep static away. Use on all your delicates and enjoy the fresh light scent. |
 |
Lavender Scent : Eucalan’s Lavender No Rinse Delicate Wash is scented using essential oil of lavender. Known for its natural moth and flea inhibiting and antiseptic properties, this is a great wash for all of your fibres. The lanolin enriched formula helps to naturally condition fibres and keep static away. Lavender’s soothing spa-like scent has been described as an aromatherapy treat for the user and is ideal for baby items like blankets, stuffed animals, clothing and wool diaper covers. Our most versatile scent, use it on all your delicates like sweaters, lingerie, hosiery, comforters, down jackets, bathing suits. |
 |
Natural Scent Eucalan’s Natural No Rinse Delicate Wash is the same great formula, but no scent has been added to it. It is Eucalan, bare and naked, as we have not added any chemicals to take away the natural scent of the product. The lanolin enriched formula helps to condition fibres and keep static away. For those scent sensitive people, use Eucalan Natural on all your delicates like sweaters, lingerie, and hosiery, comforters, down jackets, bathing suits and baby items. |

The Fiberistas, individually known as Diane, Judy & Rosemary (The Constant Knitter) have joined forces to teach all levels of knitters, whether to cast on or bring your needles to the next level. The Fiberistas are taking a stall at the The Crafty Market on Sunday 7th March from noon to 5pm.
Diane has been turning fiber into handspun yarn with her drop spindle since 2005. Come visit her at the Crafty Market to see how fiber turns into your own designer handspun. She will have a selection of KoolAid dye packets and fiber to purchase.
Judy is totally passionate about knitting being driven by textures and colour. She specialises in felting and will have samples of her work at the Crafty Market to inspire you to pick up your needles and get knitting. In addition, she runs a range of knitting classes in Delgany, Co Wicklow.
Rosemary is The Constant Knitter and will feature her line of Garnstudio yarns. Also take a look at her selection Artesano, Manos del Uruguay, Irish and sock yarns. Feel the difference between Alpaca, cotton, and linen yarns.
Bring your knitting, get yourself a coffee and join The Fiberistas for a while either knitting, spinning or felting. Or if you would like to learn any of these crafts, we will be giving demonstrations and will be happy to teach allcomers.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Directions to the Crafty Market is linked here.
Diane, Judy & Rosemary
