I recently purchased Rowan Denim yarn for a crocheting projectAfter reading about the yarn on the internet, I discovered that the yarn has a strong tendency to bleed all over your hands when working with itThey also said that Rowan Denim yarn shrinks considerably after it's first washI am afraid that the dye will get all over everything when I am making my projectI am also afraid of how much it will shrinkI thought a good way to remedy these problems might be to pre-wash the yarn before I begin my projectThis way the yarn will be pre-shrunk and the excess dye will have been removed, making it safe to touch with my handsI have never pre-washed yarn beforeDoes anyone know what the best way to go about doing this is? I don't want to ruin my yarn before I even get a chance to use itEspecially since I bought it from the internet and can not easily replace it.
Some dyes, especially blue, do come off on your hands when used on cotton or linenThis not harmful in any way and the colour, strangely, does not run in the washThis yarn is cotton and all cotton shrinks in the washTherefore I do knit items a bit longer when knitting with cottonThe width doesn't seem to be affected so much and the shrinkage is probably allowed for in the patternI used to have a wool shop so knitted 1-2 garments a week for the window and for customersI have never found it necessary to prewash yarn.
always before, and with lots of waterIt will make you eat less, and also aid in your digestionIt can also be used as a dietary supplement between mealsRead the labels,and ask the pharmicist, if need be.
