How do you keep the color from fading?
Hahaha — never have to worry about KA dyed fibre fading! I haven’t done it myself, but others have done the sun-test, and found NO fading at all! Some found a little fading with bright shades. It doesn’t wash out either. And what does it do to your insides??
No, we should think of this dye as permanent. As you already know!
