I bought some red-orange Yarn Bee Highland Thistle yarn from Hobby Lobby, but as I've been working with it, I couldn't help but notice the color bleeds. Alot. It doesn't seem to be affecting the overall color of the yarn itself, but my fingers, and knitting needles are now orange after only 4 rows on a 6 inch scarf. Does anyone have any suggestions for setting the color so the scarf won't turn the intended recipient's wardrobe orange? Also any ideas on how to quickly and easily remove orange dye from my hands and bamboo needles would be appreciated. Thanks! Sarah C.
