I was at my local quilt shop today and one of the women that work there told me that Weeks Dye Works is going colorfast!! I was thrilled to hear the news. She said that they are going to be changing their labeling ,but until they do, if you pick up a skein of Weeks and it has a red dot on the name card, that means that it was from their colorfast batch. Now I would imagine that their competitors would follow suit to keep the customers coming back. If they were wise they would. Didn't know if any of you had heard this and thought I would pass it on. Now lets hope it's not a nasty rumor! LOL!
'til next time,
happy stitching,
Sharlotte

EEk; When this popped up in Reader it said, "Have you heard the news?? I was at my local quilt shop today and one of the women that work there told me that Weeks Dye Works is going..."
ReplyDeleteSo my mind finished "...out of business!!"
"Oh, Noo!!"
So, I hastily clicked over to your blog to see the details of the post.
I wonder if Google Reader will fake anyone else out that way. :)
Nope not a rumor it was in the newsletter that I got from Silver Needle earlier this week. I think it's about time they make them colorfast but if our hand dyed fabrics aren't we still won't be able to wash our pieces. I think that Lakeside Linens and maybe Silkweavers are the only fabrics that are washable.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard the news, but I'm glad that they're going that route!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is great news, Sharlotte! Maybe I'll buy and use them more often now :)
