Very interesting. I live in an area where the water is over fluoridated
(is that a word?) People moving into new developments have to sign a
release that they understand the water is not good for children
(discolors teeth). I have not experienced any excessive problem with
bleeding. We are talking about several washings after the dying right?
I have one gown I have had problems with, but it is a cotton/linen blend
and I used procion dyes. The deep color has just not held up and does
transfer to other clothing if left moist. I use those color catchers,
but if the spun items sit for any length of time, it transfers. My
linen and linen rayon blends, and silks dye up beautifully. 100% cotton
does not dye as deeply.
I use all the recommended chemicals, synthropol to wash after a
detergent wash, casoline to distribute, soda ash to set, and fixative in
a final rinse with softener....
Hmm. As recall there is are a few chemists on the list..they might know
more...

mentioned something that I'd never heard before: for some reason, a
lot of dyes bleed in t dye-setting properties on at least some fibers.
