this is crossposted cos I need as much help as I can get.
Here's the story, I recently bought some Patons Shetland Chunky in Harvest and started knitting a scarf with it.
By and by I notice that it's dying my hands red. This has never ever happened to me when knitting.
Now I'm not sure what to do.
Not only have I started this scarf over 4 times because it's for my boyfriend's father and I want it to be perfect, but now I'm worried it's going to dye his hands/face/clothes red!
The only thing I can think of to do is hand wash it when it's finished to try and get out the excess dye. But does anyone have a better idea? Is just hand washing it enough? Has this ever happened to anyone else before and if so what did you do?
