Do I "HAVE" to wash the floss?

Dec 08, 2011 1 Replies

Hello everyone I have a question. Yesterday my Wonderfull DH bought me my christmas present. We went to the new bigger and brighter Jo-anns and he got me a kit. It is by Janlynn and last night I opened it to look it through. on the Direction pages it says I have to " Separate and wash the floss with warm water and mild soap. Rinse and dry it before using" Do I really have to wash the floss? I have a made a lot of crossstitch things in the past and I have never washed the floss before using.



Thank you Amber


Depending upon the brand, you may have dye problems. I would pay attention to the directions - you may be sorry if you don't. On the other hand, that admonition may be simply to keep the company free from liability in the event some floss dye might run.

Do what makes you feel comfortable.
