I was worried about bleeding on my Little Coffee Bean Sweater. I didn’t knit a test swatch (bad knitter) and I haven’t washed two colors of Knit Picks Dishie together.
A couple of other bloggers recommended a vinegar bath to set the color. So while I was trying to decide my buttons, into a vinegar and water bath it went!!
I used a white bowl so I could see if the water turned color. And after a nice soak…..no bleeding!! So I gave this a good rinse with plain water after its soak.
I’m still going to give this sweater a final bath and blocking after buttons to finalize the shape. But I feel much more secure knowing my blue wont turn my yellow to green!
Have you ever had a project bleed?

It has never happened to me, but I deeply fear it.
Same here!
I am always fearful of bleeding! I will have to try the vinegar to set the colors.
It’s cheaper than color catching laundry sheets. And it worked for…this time at least…
I’ve had yarns bleed during washing, but they were all knit into single color garments, so it wasn’t a big deal. Right now I’m knitting with some Dishie in the Kenai colorway, and my needles have turned blue-green. I’m pretty sure the dishcloths I’m making are going to bleed in the wash!
