Blocking
Unfortunately I didn’t wash the right way, and my dark colors bled quite I lot. I contacted Brooklyn Tweed and here’s what I learned: Arbor is dyed in the skein, which means that it compares to a hand dyed yarn. Even though bleeding is not ‘normal’, they recommend to wash it in cold water.
