About this colour
Fuchsia is a strong dye, and strong dyes release a little colour in the first two or three washes. That is the dye settling, not a fault. Wash it alone in cold water at first, and never soak it in a bucket with lighter clothes.
About the threadwork
Aari is the Kashmiri chain-stitch style, worked in flowing floral and leaf motifs. The stitches sit slightly raised on the cloth, which is what gives the yoke its texture and depth rather than the flat look of a print. Slight variation in colour placement and motif detail between pieces is normal and not a defect.
