Retayne - Color Fixative for Fabric
A fixative used to prevent dye bleeding. Soak fabrics in Retayne before washing them for the first time. Use one teaspoon per yard of fabric in a HOT (at least 140º F) soak for 20-30 minutes, with enough water to cover the fabric, then wash in hot water and Synthrapol to get out any remaining, unfixed dye. If you don't do this last step with the Synthrapol, then only wash in cool water rinse and cool water for the life of the fabric. You do risk some fading when using the Synthrapol and hot water, as it will remove any remaining "fugitive" dye.

"This seems pretty helpful in wet finishing weaving projects to set color"
"Definitely works better at stopping and preventing color bleeding on cotton fabrics compared to similar products."
"A great product that prevents problems later !! Great product !!"
"Made this really colorful throw with pre-cut fabrics that I couldn’t wash ahead of time. I was worried that it would bleed when washed and ruin the whole project. I laundered in Retayne, adding buckets of extra hot water to my top loading washer and it came through without a hint of bleeding. Great product!"
"I was so happy to discover Retayne so my project wouldn’t fade. It was a memory quilt for a niece. It was very well received."
"Great on line purchase for wife's stocking stuffer gift."
"and arrived quickly!"
"Great!"
