the video where i review this swift
• Stanwood Amish style Y...
I made this video because I purchased some yarn from the thrift store. and it smelled a little dusty. I wanted to show you how to take care of yarn, that might be dingy, dusty, or stinky. You can absolutely wash yarn before you use it! and if it helps you save money, or helps you save a poor helpless skien of yarn, that just wants to be loved. Then my job will be done.
THanks for watching!

I've gotten "cat" out of yarn, I used a oxygenated cleanser specifically for that purpose...... I actually dropped it in a sink of warm water with one of the Jackson Galaxy tablets (that was meant to go into a spray bottle), it was amazing!!! 😉
And there was no staining....
Lysol Laundry Sanitizer worked for me.
@@jseidel70js BINGO!
I just bought a bunch of yarn from the 60s so this is really helpful!
The secret to getting odors out of fabric or yarn is salt and Suave Rosemary Peppermint shampoo. Mix the salt, vinegar, baking soda, and the shampoo, then soak, and hand rinse it thoroughly until no more suds ☮️🌈💖 hope this helps 😊
@@terrace1 Thanks! 🙏
Going to have to get me a swift. I showed this to my son... and started the sentence, If you'd help.. that's all I got out... he goes help how? So, I put out my arms and explained how... Then was informed that I MUST be out my mind! Then he tells me, to go get a salad spinner and he'd hook it up to a drill for me LMAO! I ended up wiping my eyes here from tears from laughter... and he went off shaking his head! Thanks for this one, now I see what and why, about undoing the yarn and getting all the parts to the air and water/soap.
🤣🤣🤣
That is an Amish swift, I have one, love it.
I used knee high stockings to put cakes in. They came with a smell I didn't like. I tied the cake tight in the stocking and laundered gently and let air dry. I cut the stocking off when they were dry.
Thanks Jennifer! I’m picking up some free yarn tomorrow but have been told it’s old and needs some revitalizing so I’m going to give your technique a whirl!
Hi! Jennifer, that was another great tutorial for getting out odor. Improvise is the name of the game when you don't have it. It is a ling process as I watched grandma clean and prepared sheep wool to weave beautiful rugs. Have a blessed day!
Gloucester sounds like “glaw ster”. It’s here in Massachusetts 😀
In the UK we say glos -stir, I find the different pronunciations really interesting
@@annehayward3506 we actually say “glaw-sta”. Ha ha it’s a New England accent kinda thing.
Add a half a cup of vinger get out smoke
I recently bought some Noro Yarn ( too expensive to send back) that arrived old smelly. Tammy Cook recommended this video to help me get the smell out of my yarn. Thank you for sharing these tips, appreciated.
I was recently gifted some beautiful yarn that smelled like cigarettes really strong. I washed some, amd some I just placed out in the sun and the smell is gone. I hope it helps you
I hank mine up, put it in a mesh bag & wash it like I would to block with a soak or wool soak or a baking sod solution (Do not use vinegar & baking soda in the same solution - be sure to rinse in between) , rinse and then I hang them in the sun to dry. I've also had good results adding Odo ban to the soak to both deodorizer and sanitize. Salad spinners are great for drying yarn!
Jennifer thanks for sharing. Have a joyful day 🌷🤗💕
I have washed with baking soda added to the soaking wash. With cat pee you can use vinegar water soak.
Oh thank you. I bought some yarn form a thrift store some time ago and I have never use it because it has that weird smell of old yarn. It was packaged up in a plastic blanket bag with very old vintage yarn and the smell of that yarn got of everything. There are some skeins I would love to use if I can get the smell out. I'm going to try some of the things I saw on your video. Thanks again.
Loca this great information I tried to take the dingy smell out of stored yarn years ago just say it went to stuffing because I ended with yarn barf.lol lesson 999 learned.lol
Power tools and yarn, what more do you need? Lol ☺️💖👍👍
Right?
I have soaked overnight in shampooand hot water and rinsed the next day and hung outside to dry. Has worked wonders on that horrible chemical smell. And works perfect on all wool yarn.
Thank you, Jennifer. It was very entertaining. ☺♥☺♥☺
Really enjoyed this video and learned so much. Thank you for taking the time to show us less advanced. Blessed day to you.🐦
Gee I wish I knew that about vinegar & plastic few years ago. We had too throw out some Tupperware cause of smell & discoloration... Way too Mr Cinnamon! Great idea.
Great information, Jennifer. I would not have thought to put yarn back into hank form to treat it but it makes sense. I'm sure this video will save many a skein from the landfill .
You are a cutie!!! Thanks for the great video...watching you made my day:) The cat pee part was hilarious!
love your salad spinner
thank you for sharing Jennifer. I have "gifted" yarn that is aged and very musty, dusty smelling. glad i hadn't thrown it out!!
Thanks Jennifer. This is something we needed. At least, us that have bought thrift store yarn.
🎶🎶salad spinner!🎶🎶
Thank you for this. I am a newbie, but have passed on "iffy"used yarn because I wasn't sure what to do with it. ❤️
Thank you😁💜🧶 I have some yarn that I need to wash. Thank you for showing us!
Excellent!! Thank you for this Jennifer. I have a mountain of older yarn in my mothers house. It's daunting. I have a mesh bag and kept meaning to try that. This makes more sense to aereate the fibers.
Just wanted to say that panty hose works pretty good if you want to wash the whole skein.
Thanks for the information on this, it's very helpful. Hugs and loves my friend. Toodles for now.
I have some yarn that’s musty, I’ve had it since 2010 😂 and it’s traveled all over the country with us…great ideas!
Good info. Vinegar is so useful. - Paula
so helpful and i love that you are so open with us
Great demo, tips & info! Love the color of that yarn! I often air yarn outside for days, laid out on racks & then rotate the yarn ever so often. I also mix several drops of lemongrass & eucalyptus essential oils, filled with H20 in a spray bottle & spritz the yarn as I rotate it. Both helps, if the yarn isn’t too far gone! Otherwise, I rewind into a hank also; so it aerates even more & actually wash if needed. 💁🏻♀️ Those 2 EOs, with a little laundry soap, cuts the smell of just about anything! I also put a few drops in dog bedding laundry. And of course a splash of good ‘ole vinegar. 🙌 Beautiful backyard view! 😊 Trees 🌳
I used Lavender essential oil in my rinse water. Also I mix the lavender essential oils with water and I spray my dusty or mildewed yarn that I was gifted. Worked great.
Thanks very helpful. I had bought some variegated. cotton yarn rainbow color from Hobby Lobby and made coadters with it to use when your glass sweats it faded on my outside while table and it was new yarn. I have several of them not used I will do this to them. Thanks ⚘for sharing with all of us 🧶💕🧶
Great tutorial and fun,easier than I thought,may need to get a power drill.lol
Thank you, Jennifer 👍
Cat pee on yarn is impossible, but on blankets I have used vinegar and the scent beads in the wash.
I looked up the pink yarn and it is 145 yards . Thanks for the info . Love and Hugs .
Awesome thank you
Enjoyed your video, great practical advice....thanks!
Nice video. Thank you. Plants are nice.
Try Lysol Concentrate when all else fails. 1/2 to 1 cap full for 2 to 4 gallons of water. Works for me
Great tutorial! I have some yarn that got a little dark on one side and I can’t wait to try this and see if it’ll work for me. Much appreciated! ❤️😍🥰💕
So much better than washing in a net bag! It took me days to untangle that yarn!
Good morning ☕️
Thanks for sharing. Helpful information.
Loved watching you clean that yarn. Looks easy enough to do and you rescued yarn from being thrown away! Bless you! Now, take little man to get something to eat.🍽🥘🍲🥗😀
Thank you, for all the info. I love your top!
Good info thanks Jen! And entertaining too...
Great video learning something new and fun
Awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Great tips, thank you so very much!! Got a bunch at an estate sale
I put a bar of Yardley lavender soap in a bag with the yarn for a few days. Cat pee is a no go as is smoke smell and is trashed.
Thanks Jennifer
Great lesson. Thanks
Lysol Laundry Sanitizer for cat pee. My cat peed on a blanket I made and I washed several times, with no help. Someone told me about the Lysol laundry sanitizer and it worked.
Love these helpful tips for cleaning yarn... Thank You for taking the time to put this video together!
You and many others probably already know and use this trick... But just in case... I have a large yarn stash that I’ve put into totes to “keep it safe” . One thing that I have found works very nicely is every time I place yarn into a tote the first thing I put into my tote is a couple of dryer sheets. Then I put a couple more when it’s half full and then a couple more when it’s completely full. I’ve found that this not only prevents the yarn from getting that “old” smell but it also helps to keep bugs away 🙂
Love your plug. It can never be lost like here in NZ. But I do know that they are being used in more modern homes now.
Thanks I would never have thought to add the vinegar.
Crystal, thanks so much.
Jennifer
U are a very patient person
Sometimes..
Great video tutorial! Thanks
Thanks that knowledge will come in handy for yarns I was given, and any I might get in future from thrift stores. Have a great day..
Love the spinner
I saved your video to my crochet EDU favorites list. Thanks for all the great information.
That was both entertaining and educational, for sure...lol. Honestly, quite impressed.
Thank you. I needed to know what you taught me. Now if I get stinky yarn I will follow your instructions.❤️👍
So cool!!! Best video ever.
Thank you for sharing this information.
Big Hug's with Lots of Love
Your video was both, educational and entertaining! Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day and stay safe!
Wonderful tutorial.... definitely will try this now that the warmer weather is here....love drying outside...reminds me of growing up way back when.... 😂👍😘
Thankyou for a great video. Now I know how to wash yarn Thankyou thankyou
Thank you for this very helpful lesson, Jennifer! I also was helped by seeing you use the swift and the way you tied each hank. What a gorgeous pink cotton you rescued! My college roommate lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where the statue of the fisherman is. Gloucester is pronounced “Gloss-ster”. I am looking at 2 large containers of different kinds of yarn I have owned for a very long time. They definitely will need renewing and washing before I can use them. I love how you don’t just talk about helpful tips, you SHOW us!!! And that cool spinner hack is fun! Thank you again!
Better to give something a quick wash than throw it out for being a bit smelly.
Oh, in England we say "Gloucester" as "gloss-tuh", a bit like Worcester. :D
Angela wright Hi cinnamon thank you for sharing how to make yarns smells good how are you doing today's I am doing fine today's from columbus ga love your whole family and pets 🙂🌹⚘
All is good and well here today Angela. Benny cold and rainy, but its beautiful today
I learned a thing or 2! I am thinking, for those who do buy thrift store yarns, (I do not use anything but brand new yarn, because I sell my items; & you just can never be sure of the home atmospheres from which used yarns come), that even the cat smells will come out after washing & being neutralized with vinegar. Vinegar is a great neutralizer for so many things!
My my that is my swift. I love 💘it!
I put the yarn outside in the sun. In California in late spring and all summer, the chances for rain or frost is basically nothing, so sometimes if the smell (like old estate sale smell) is strong, I will put it on a table outside for two weeks. It works! I rotate the skeins so that all sides are exposed several days at a time. No fading of color either!
Thanks for the great information. I need this. 😇
This is the first time I've ever seen a salad spider thank you for sharing
Great tips. Thank you.
Vinegar will get out smoke. It will not get out cat pee. I quit smoking and had to wash all my clothes years ago. I don't have many of those left as I gained weight. Vinegar will also kill weeds but has to be hot weather.
The Stanwood Amish swift is THE BEST! No mechanical parts to break and easy to set up, take down, and store. I have found the best soak for getting rid of smoke smell or residual fragrance smell is vinegar and baking soda. The amount of vinegar you use depends on how strong the odor/fragrance is. I have passed up purchasing some things at the Goodwill or thrift shops because the perfume was so strong I didn't want the hassle of trying to "destink" it.
i have some gifted yarn that is full of smoke, fingers crossed! thanks for the video
Hi Jennifer it was both entertaining and educational. Thankyou.
Good to know ... Thank you Jennifer 🤗
I had no idea you could wash yarn like this 😁 I thought pantie hose were what people used but this is a better Idea !!! Thank you for the tip I enjoy your Channel ever Morning when you have one !!!
😁❤😁❤😁
I received a bunch of yarn that was old and came with old yarn smell. I sealed it in a bag with a bar of soap. Learned that trick from my mom. She would place a bar of soap in our dresser to keep the clothes smell fresh.
Hi Jennifer, This was very informative and I need to store it so I can refer back to it and clean any stinky yarn I may get. Thank you so much. A yarny friend.
Thanks to all commenters too cause I learned a lot from them too.
Vinegar... the stronger acid percentage the better... (not gardening vinegar) will remove urine, etc... however I agree, cat urine that you bought... ditch it, it will never come out... it’s set
Thank you for the tips!
Awesome info, thank you ❣️❣️🙃🙃
Very cool. TFS 💜
What a great idea Jennifer. Thanks for the scoop on this. Good to know. Have a great day. Donna 💙❤💚
Thank you for sharing!
I would salt in the water as well as the vinegar to help with the bleeding of the colors. Love your spinner. I have seen you play with it when you got , great since the motor or part of it was missing 💜
i love the salad spinner idea. i have a salad spinner i use for my undies. i don't have it motorized though.
Sooooooooooooooo HELPFUL!!!
Try washing/soaking with a vinegar water to get smell out or staining out :) Edit: I now see many have suggested this - so I guess its just confirming at this point hahaha
Drill power and girl power!
That was awesome Jennifer and easier than I thought it might be! 💜
