I am so glad you wonderful knowledgeable people are out there! I had no idea that is what may crock meant. I've had fabric that "crocked" that's for sure but did not know what to call it except a pain in the a**.

Found this definition and remembered this post: Both kinds of colorants can cause crocking which means the colors on the surface of any fabric can rub off during the handling process. Prewashing will take care of this dilemma.

I found a good explanation on Quilting Tidbits:

Although a bit late at reading these posts, I surely appreciated this one! I'd never heard the term 'crocking', but had experienced it when wearing new blue jeans without washing them first. And I try my darnedest to get any new ones washed before DH throws things together in the washing machine...he tends to put many items together to 'make a load', but with the new machines having the capability to sense load levels, it isn'nt necessary! Love the guy dearly, though!
