Mahogany Turtle uses high quality acid based protein dyes which like all hand dyed yarns requires respect while laundering. I recommend hand washing, alone, in your chosen wool wash, drying flat in the shade. Some minimal bleeding may occur in the first wash, this isn’t a fault. Wash the item separately to avoid any transfer. If you are wanting to combine light and dark colours please do a test swatch.
