FACTS ABOUT COLOR
In many cases, the color of the garment is the primary reason for the customer's
selection. Obviously, any change or variation in the color or fading creates an
undesirable effect. Dye crocking is the result of random loss of dye or pigment due
to abrasion or mechanical action in wear or processing. When dye crocking has
occurred, the fabric appears lighter, discolored or streaked. Dyes or pigments that
crock can transfer to other parts of the garment, or to other garments that come in
contact with the garment. Dye loss and/or dye crocking can occur in any type of
wearing apparel or household fabric or home furnishing.
