Did you ever washed a work stitched with DMC 666 ?
I'm afraid of doing it. Did the clothe became pink or not ?
Thanks.

Yes, I have wash numerous piece stitched on white and cream coloured fabric without any problems.  I have washed the finished pieces both by hand and in the washing machine at a temp. of no more than 40°C.  I have always found all DMC colours to be colour fast.

Thanks for the info langstep, the HAED piece I am busy with has the colour 666 in it so it is good to hear that it does not run :)  Post time 2013-4-6 00:52

I've stitched this red pagoda from MAIA : //www.pindiy.com/forum.php? ... mp;highlight=pagoda
I'll wash it before doing the french knots and backstitches so that I can iron it easily.
I've finaly noticed that the threads of the kit are from Coats and not from DMC.
I hope they are colorfast too.

Good to hear, the back of my work around the scroll rods is getting pretty dirty and I'll have to wash it when it is done.

Cualquier color oscuro puede desteñir independientemente de la marca. Cuando tiñen el hilo si la partida de hilo no ha quedado bien teñida le vuelven a dar otra pasada de tinte  y puede ocurrir que no quede bien aclarado, eso hace que suelte color y destiña.
He visto como lo hacen y  mi me paso con el DMC 817.
