Massive disappoint and frustration. When I was finishing this handspun I noticed that the purple colour was bleeding A LOT in the cold water washes.
Bleeding yarn is bad as any wool you knit with it will get bled into the next time you wash it. So I attempted to fix the issue. Hot vinegar baths set the purple but did nothing for the red bleeding…so I went hardcore with RIT dye fixative…which did nothing, meanwhile the white parts of the yarn were getting more and more purply-pink!
I gave up & contacted the fibre club about it, as I certainly don’t expect to pay for spinning fluff that bleeds this bad, especially when their response indicated the bleeding issue from the sari silk neps in their fibre/yarn was known. They were very nice about negotiating a rectification though which was nice.
