A word about colour transfer if using *Wishbone*, combined with a saturated contrast colour:
Some dyes are notoriously difficult to set – think dark blues, vibrant pinks and reds, dark green, dark brown…. and may continue to exhaust colour even after being rinsed several times. When using strong colours combined with very pale colours, it is advisable to test colour fastness by knitting a small test swatch ahead of time, and giving it a gentle hand wash. For your garment, I recommend steam blocking instead of soaking. When washing: avoid soaking, use cool water and natural Castile soap or a specialised wool wash. Remember: wool breathes and often only needs to be aired to remove odours. ♡
