>>She said the yarn was handpainted (thereby steamed for some unmeasured period >>- in my experience, dyes need 30-40 min. in steam to set)<<
Since no one was there when the yarn was handpainted, no one knows if the yarn was actually steamed. Some other process may have been used to set the dye. I've heard that, of the two different processes used to produce superwash yarn, that only the process that coats the fiber is now being used. The main complaint on that one, is that dyes don't 'stick'. Maybe the coating comes off, after x amount of washes in a wm? wrnk d2 To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
