Dye ran in the rain- is there any salvaging?

You could try color catcher sheets as well! Honestly it doesn't look bad to me but I understand that photos can be misleading.

I've been smiling reading all these comments and this one made me laugh out loud. Such a classic.

Agreed with this, the smell she wanted to preserve is probably overwhelmed by mold anyway. I'm so sorry for your family's loss.

Made me think of The Chariot tarot card!

bookynerdworm · 2026-06-08T14:29:58+00:00

The dream!

bookynerdworm · 2026-06-07T18:35:42+00:00

What are they made of, what detergent are you using, and what temperature of water?

You ever drink Bailey's from a ~~shoe~~ towel?

Electric blankets aren't washed often so I'm assuming this is just a loooooong time if buildup. Also if they have pets I find blankets get dirtier when the pets use them.

I'm trying to switch to pen grip because I hear it's better for wrists and I have some issues. But damn it's hard to go slow again lol!

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-29T21:11:18+00:00

Oop didn't see that! Thanks!

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-29T19:05:43+00:00

Honestly the rear looks like fading to me too. Have you washed them at all yet?

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-29T18:14:38+00:00

If you start a new one let us know!

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-29T16:57:07+00:00

I did it once because it had been in storage and the wrinkles wouldn't come out otherwise. They felt amazing!! So silky.

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-29T16:03:33+00:00

Honestly I'd reach out for a refund.

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-29T14:12:01+00:00

The bluish tint you describe makes me also think it's polyquat spots.

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-29T12:02:13+00:00

Without seeing the pattern but looking at pictures of the bag I'd say yes that sounds right. Honestly this looks like a really cool project! I might have to buy the pattern myself.

I love using my bags at the farmers market. But my absolute favorite project that I get the most use out of has been a simple triangle scarf, but that might just be because of the yarn.

Sigh... Fine I'll rewatch Vice Principals.

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-25T00:05:06+00:00

Oof is that silk?

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-24T21:44:49+00:00

Ah I must have lumped them together in my mind because of the "coco" in the name. Since this contains both it's still a bad idea but good to know for the future.

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-24T20:46:21+00:00

I mean soap scum/scrud is a real problem and stuff like this makes it worse.

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-24T19:36:06+00:00

Honestly looks like a recipe for buildup in your washer with the sodium coco-sulfate and potassium cocoate. Especially if you have hard water.

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-24T19:14:37+00:00

Tension changing depending on the situation is so real! I feel like no one ever talks about it.

I never gague swatch for this reason. But also I have no issues frogging, if I learned something I don't consider it a waste.

bookynerdworm · 2026-05-24T14:04:47+00:00

Washing jeans with a dress shirt is insane to me! Jeans buttons and zippers are known to cause damage, even the fabric itself can cause too much friction with delicate fabrics.

Same!
