Crocking refers to the rubbing off of color from a fabric when subjected to abrasion. One test is the AATCC 8-2001. This is a test method of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC). This method uses a standard white cotton fabric that is rubbed against the surface of the test fabric.
Crocking occurs when excess dye rubs off of one dry fabric onto another dry fabric. Crocking is usually more of a problem with dark and vivid colors. Note: during testing, colorfastness can be tested on wet and dry fabric.
