Dye Issues

[jumpuphigh]

I just finished a scarf made out of silk sari yarn and when I washed it, the colors bled horribly.  I've handwashed it multiple times and there is still a bit of bleeding.  Any ideas?  I'm having vague recollections of talk about salt setting dyes?  Do we have any dyers in this comm with experience with silk?

ETA: When I was washing it with cold water, it was starting to bleed less.  I've now washed it about 4 times with warm water and the bleeding is almost as bad as the first cold water wash.

ETA2: I seem to be allergic to the dye.  *facepalm*  Guess I'm done fiddling.  It's laid out on towels for drying.
