craftworks logoWhere Creativity Is American Made...
Superwash is a wool that has been treated or processed in a way that allows it to be machine washed. It can also be referred to as 'washable wool'.
Most superwash wool is made in two ways (or a combination of the two). The first is to use a chlorinated acid bath that removes the 'scales' from the fiber. The other method is to coat the fiber with polyamide and/or nylon that basically keeps the scales from being able to join together and cause shrinkage. 
Properties of superwash:
- Easier to clean in the washer without shrinkage.
- Colors are more vibrant, as it takes dye better.
- Can feel softer than untreated wool yarns.
Superwash blends combine the characteristics of superwash with those of other fibers.
