- We take you step by step through the in entire process of how we at Dakota Fiber Mill wash our mill spun natural fiber skeins of yarn.
It doesn’t matter if it’s wool, alpaca, mohair, angora, camel, bison, yak, qiviut, cat, cashmere, dog or blends of any type. This is how we at the mill wash our finished skeins. Note some folks may do it differently this is just how we do it.
We will show how we wash one skein to 31 skeins and more. You will have no problem washing your handspun Or mill spun yarn after this tutorial. Plus we demonstrate a new spin machine that we have discovered that cuts down dry time to little or nothing!
Purchase the Panda Spin Dryer here: amzn.to/3keWnom
We make it simple and you will have no fear to wash even the finest lace blends after.
Now let’s wash some yarn!!
Thanks Chris! Nice to come back to make sure I'm still doing it right!
Thank you! I was waiting for this! You make it look so easy, I gotta go wash some yarn now lol
Brilliant, ty!
Dawn has too high a ph for natural fibers. You want something closer to neutral like Ivory . Once immersed it needs a few minutes to wet down thoroughly . Yes spinning out the excess water saves a days drying time .

the Panda actually spins at 1200rpm while a standard washing machine spins at 500-800 rpm.thanks for sharing.
It’s an awesome unit!!!
I have always opened the skein before washing. Do you find there's any difference in leaving the skein twisted or not?
When washing a bunch, and even just a single, I have found a risk of tangling when opened . Haven’t had that issue since washing skeined. I have also found the skeins are just as clean etc... I do always open the skeins to dry.
Does this process work for dusty yarn?
Yes .
Can i do this with a mohair skein? I got some off ebay and they're pretty nasty
Hahaha nvm i just read your description
Thanks :)
Awesome!! Let me know if you have any other questions!! Blessings!!
Yes .
