Lynne (Lily's Quilts) emailed Michael at Oakshott for me and this was his very detailed and helpful reply:<br /><br />Dear Lynne,<br /><br />All the cotton hanks are boiled washed for 8hrs+ to remove any impurities in the cotton.<br />Then the yarns are manually dyed ( using vat dyes ). These are then washed, sundried,and then woven.<br />The vat dyes are a chemical group that provide the best all round fastness ( light, rubbing and washing ) to cotton.<br />It is therefore not necessary to pre-wash but some customers do as a matter of choice or habit.<br />If the fabrics are to be washed then it is important to avoid any contact with chlorine and the water should be less than 40C.<br />Its best to iron the fabrics when damp.Washing will not affect the lustre.<br /><br />A good customer in Western Canada tells me that in her region everyone buys some special prewash soap. I think that's all just good marketing !<br /><br />Ruby Reds and Lipari use gas mercerised yarns both woven on fully automatic power-looms. The dyeing of these yarns is even more fast than above as they have been pressure dyed using the very latest of equipment.<br />Again pre washing is not necessary.<br /><br />In the last 12 years we have only had one very minor problem with colour bleeding.<br /><br />With kindest rgds<br />Michaelverykerryberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485169920671733941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497143646217236954.post-21134544822373002962012-08-22T05:42:38.191-07:002012-08-22T05:42:38.191-07:00I looooooove the new patterns!! They are adorable!...I looooooove the new patterns!! They are adorable!<br />But I have a question for you, Kerry!<br />Does the Oakshot red fabrics bleed?<br />I have had a huge problem with red fabrics, I have bought them from several manufactures (Robert Kaufman, Michael miller, Moda, etc) and almost all of them bleed. And as you know, I love to use white backgrounds for my works!<br />Do you have a solution for this?<br />Thank you soooo much!<br />hugs from your brazilian friend<br />Silsilvana pereira coutinhohttp://www.flickr.com/photos/silortnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497143646217236954.post-51013545141878602372012-08-21T11:56:26.662-07:002012-08-21T11:56:26.662-07:00Love, love, love these patterns and the projects y...Love, love, love these patterns and the projects you both made with them!elnorachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14624811606719219907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497143646217236954.post-34273289130412608972012-08-21T09:23:54.984-07:002012-08-21T09:23:54.984-07:00Looking forward to seeing your coffee makes!Looking forward to seeing your coffee makes!verykerryberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485169920671733941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497143646217236954.post-43189954824610294312012-08-21T09:23:23.097-07:002012-08-21T09:23:23.097-07:00Thankyou Nicke xThankyou Nicke xverykerryberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485169920671733941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497143646217236954.post-34679118286407432762012-08-20T22:07:48.524-07:002012-08-20T22:07:48.524-07:00ha! and it is mine! yay!ha! and it is mine! yay!**nicke...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12075185396690393980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497143646217236954.post-85875210814707977972012-08-20T22:06:22.508-07:002012-08-20T22:06:22.508-07:00i need the latte pattern. my sisters would love t...i need the latte pattern. my sisters would love to have some mug rugs oooooh! or i could make some coffee cozies! smart smart smarty pants!**nicke...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12075185396690393980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497143646217236954.post-42215986191998174282012-08-20T16:23:15.202-07:002012-08-20T16:23:15.202-07:00Thank you so much Charise!
