Try washing again with "Stain Grabber". It is a disposable sheet that
goes in the washer and pulls the excess dye out of the water, so it
doesn't re-deposit on the fabric. Look for it in the laundry aisle.
Can't hurt!

I bought about 8 yards of linen/rayon blend in a deep purple. Washed

laundry detergent I always use (ALL) and added some fabric softener
to the
last rinse. It has done something I've never seen in anything store
bought.
It had slightly lighter marks all over and then a couple of large
blobs of
darker stuff. The dark marks almost look like there was oil dropped
on it,
and the lighter marks perhaps from the fabric softener?
This happened to me once, with a dark blue. I ended up using it for
fighter's garb and linings...
Sad, really, since it's a beautiful piece of fabric otherwise.
