That doesn't really describe "crocking" accurately. Crocking is when the dye can easily transfer just by touching. Ever run your hand over a home dec fabric (happened to me!) and have the dye transfer to your hand? That's crocking. Ever worn a new pair of unwashed jeans only to find your legs are blue at the end of the day? That's crocking. Doesn't have anything to do with getting stuck to other fabrics.
