- Some intense colours may bleed during the first wash; this is common with very dark reds, indigo, and yellows. Pre-washing the skeins with a little vinegar or Synthrapol in the water should help. Lay a little kleenex or paper towel on top of the wash water, and if it doesn’t absorb any dye, then you’re in the clear.
