Colorfastness Information from
Needle Necessities
Due to the strict regulations imposed by the FDA on dye chemicals now, NO
thread is guaranteed 100% colorfast by manufacturers. The FDA and EPA
have removed many ingredients from dyes over the past several years, so now
consumers must take special precaution with any colored fiber!
Needle Necessities seldom has problems with colors running but cannot guarantee
complete colorfastness.
Specialty threads must be treated gently. Overdyes must first be unskeined
and put into a bathroom basin 1/2 filled with slightly tepid water, 2 tbls.
of vinegar, and 2 tbls. of salt. Soak for 1-2 minutes, remove, blot
with a towel and let dry. This is recommended for a piece that will
require washing. Please note: HOT WATER and using a STEAM IRON will
reactivate the dyes and cause bleeding.
A suggestion about removing dyes that have bled is to soak the piece in ice
cold water until the color starts to bleed out. Remove from the water
and run ice cubes over the area and place back in fresh ice water to soak
again. Repeat this process until the area of the worked piece is clear
of dye. This may take continued effort over a few days but it does
work!
