I HATE this yarn - Liberty colorway bleeds like crazy
A friend's wife wanted a red white and blue cowl. I was worried about bleeding, so instead of using individual red, white and blue yarns I thought I would try the Liberty colorway as it was dyed specifically to be red, white and blue.
What a nightmare. I prewashed the cowl hand wash, using cold water and the mild soap that I always use to wash my woollens and the colors bled enough to turn the water purple. Now the cowl is red, PINK, and blue. I have re-washed it 4 times in an attempt to get rid of the pink and now it just looks old/ratty AND pink. This yarn also sheds and pills and left tons of fibers in the sink and on the towel. What a waste of money.
