Sorry but answer is no to all of the above.
I cannot share exactly which colors I used for certain colorways as it is a proprietary information and plays an important role in our livelihood.
Simple questions regarding dye techniques is welcome for those who already know the basics of dyeing.
But I currently do not teach dyeing in any capacity, either for hire or for free.
If you're looking for resources to teach yourself how to dye like I did, there's a lot of free video tutorials on YouTube.
There's also a handful of books available on acid dyeing that are all excellent.

In certain areas, the pH of your tap water is alkaline and not neutral.
This may cause the bond between the dye and wool to break.
If you know your water is hard, try using distilled water or adding a bit of vinegar to your water for blocking.
I do my best to rinse off any excess dye that may be lingering after the skein has been set, but often it is impossible to get it off perfectly.

You may be seeing the remaining excess dye coming off during blocking and it should go away with subsequent washes.
I would refrain from using and/or washing dark or saturated colors with light colored yarn.
If you must, remember to use a sheet of Color Catcher when you wash them.
