WHY IS HANDWASHING RECOMMENDED FOR YOUR SUPERWASH YARNS?
Even if it is a yarn with a superwash finish, we recommend washing the finished piece by hand, carefully squeezing out excess water and letting it dry on a flat surface. This may take more time but it is much more gentle on the fibers and therefore your finished piece and its colours will last much longer. After every dye process the yarn is carefully washed to make sure that there is no excess colour left in the yarn but some colours (especially red, orange, pink and purple) are still prone to bleed when washed. This is why we also recommend that if you are planning on using a lighter colour with a darker or more intense colour to first knit up a swatch and wash it, to see if there is any bleeding of colours.
WHICH COLOURS DO YOU USE FOR DYEING?
We use acid colours from Dharma and only citric acid (food safe) is used to fix the colour.
