It's loose dye that's leftover, and the logical part of me says maybe, but we don't know 'what kind' of dye they used. Washing it should be the way to remove those loose particles that didn't bind. (Thankfully, the dye I use doesn't do this.) Different dyes use different mordants to set them. Alum, salt, soda ash, etc. are all mordants, and I've heard of all working to help keep fabrics from bleeding. You could try any of them. I know the fabric you're talking about, and it did bleed a lot. I wound up getting rid of what was left of mine. I didn't want to take the chance.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-46367560503611201472016-06-20T11:08:55.937-04:002016-06-20T11:08:55.937-04:00how fun!!!how fun!!!Alycia~Quiltygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283575876006453806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-52166894172499589692016-06-19T09:43:41.112-04:002016-06-19T09:43:41.112-04:00Very fun shirts for the 4th!

I was the leader of my daughter's troop (isn't that what moms are supposed to be) and the girls tie dyed shirts for the 4th of July. They also used fabric paint and masking tape on other shirts to make stars and stripes. Then we all marched in the parade. They were 6th graders. Another year and they wouldn't have wanted to do that. Question for you: I won some fabric last summer on the new blogger summer hop and was forewarned by someone that it bleeds. I've been soaking it and can't get the reds and blues to stop. If I add soda ash to the water, would it help set the color? Any other suggestions?
