Variegated threads must be tested by customers for color fastness for the end use of this product. Especially such designs that combine heavy shades of variegated threads with light or natural shades in the same fabric.

These threads may have a poor resistance to bleaches and water contaminants such as chlorine and metal ions. Shades of turquoise are more prone to color change and cross-stain during washing under such conditions.

For extremely dark shades of variegated threads, customers are recommended to run washing trials on their garments to ensure no staining.

Fabrics containing these threads should be labeled “Wash in warm water using a detergent such as tide. Wash colors separately. Do not use Chlorine bleach. Tumble dry, gentle cycle, immediately. Dry clean for best results”
