All the batiks are 1895 line from Hoffman and are the woodland colors of rust, blue, brown, green.
The 1895 are some of the biggest bleeders. Toss one into the sink with warm water, leave it for about 10 minutes, hand agitate , and make your own decision.
The problem can be worse if you have a high effieciency /low water washing machine. The released dye will be concentrated.
