Re: How do you set the dye in the hakama?

I recently purchased a 40-kan, indigo-dyed hakama from the Kiyota Company in Maryland (USA). Gorgeous garment and I followed suggestions for setting the dye using white vinegar and sea salt in cold water. Afterwards, I've found that there is lots of white streaks and/or blobs across the garment. Is this the salt? Should I soak it again w/o the salt?

Thank you,
Jonathan
