Cut a piece of fabric or yarn off and place in a clean, white container with tepid water and a little of your usual laundry soap or detergent. Leave to soak for about half an hour, remove the yarn from the water and then check for colour in the water. A tiny bit of colour in the water is not unusual, especially from hand dyed yarns. Repeat this test on your swatch.<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n        \n        \n                <\/div>\n                <\/a>\n
