That's a funny sheep picture.

I was going to say "love the sheep" but caught myself.
I'm no sheep humper!

Mike I think you might be wrong, the bleeding looks to uniform, maybe they put the rug down on a wet carpet.

That's what they get for putting a rug on carpet.

Everybody knows rugs go down on wood floors!

You can get color transfer from dry rug to dry carpet

Did not know that. Thanks

Another value of a pad, but even then sometimes there is dye transfer on side, esp if a very thin rug on thin pad cut 2" inside.

Dry dye transfer is called crocking. Any area rug is going to shift slightly with foot traffic and if overdyed will rub color into whatever it touches.

I've seen lots of it, especially from side wraps. It usually is far easier to remove than wet transfer dye bleeding... which I've also seen more than a few times.

You might want to fix the spelling of dye on your site Mikey.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Crocking used to be common in brightly colored (usually red/orange shags) adjacent to light carpets.

"Fugitive dyes" in excess of what would "set" were often not rinsed out by some mills.
