      I really like the dishcloth design, but I do have a question:
      If I use cotton in contrasting colors (like black and white, or yellow and black for a Batman washcloth) will the darker colors bleed onto the light colors in the wash? I'm familiar with Color Catcher sheets, which go in the washer when washing a mixed load, but that would get expensive if I had to do that with every load.
      Is there a way to set the colors, either by soaking the yarn before working, or after the project is finished?
      Thanks so much.

        Back before Sugar & Cream's site became part of Yarnspirations, this is what they recommended. I don't see as much buzz about the salt as about the vinegar in most threads on the topic - the vinegar seems to be the most important step.

        "16. How do you set the dye in a yarn / garment to prevent the dye from coming off on hands and needles while working with it?
        Knit your project, and soak it in a solution of the following: 1-2 c PICKLING SALT and COLD WATER. Set for half an hour. Rinse THOROUGHLY in water. Soak again in VINEGAR and WATER. Set for half an hour. Rinse THOROUGHLY."

      Thanks so much for these wonderful patterns, Tamara. I love your round ups. I made the Paton Hat and the Hounds Tooth Beanie Hat (really sharp looking for either men or women), next I am going to try both scarves. My DIL has requested 4 of the Paton Hats and scarves to match for her daughters for Christmas. I'd better get crackin! =) Fortunately the hats whip up super quick and I hope the scarves will too!
