knittingI 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.
