Superwash bases have been treated in a manner that makes them more resistant to shrinkage. This means they can be washed at higher temperatures without the risk of felting. The superwash yarn I use has been treated in highly regulated plants, thereby minimising it's environmental impact. I always recomment hand-washing in cool water to increase the longevity of your garments.

Non-superwash bases have not had the same treatment that superwash bases have had, and are therefore slightly more delicate when it comes to washing. However, taking out this stage of treatment also makes non-superwash bases more environmentally friendly, and they are becoming much more popular because of this!
Handwash non-superwash bases in cold water with minimal wool wash.
