thawan Posted July 2, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I finally got around to washing the last of the t-shirts and sweatshirts we bought in Alaska. I tested them to see if the colours would run. The blacks and navys were fine. The dark rose coloured all ran. 1 t-shirt & 2 sweats. Their 2 different makers, so I'm thinking its the colour. So watch out before you wash them.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriPhil Posted July 3, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks for the caution. I was planning on picking up one or two and would probably go for rose and reds. If it's a particularly yummy-looking one I might still risk it, but I'll pay attention when it's time for the wash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictam Posted July 3, 2007 #3 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Once you do wash one, there's a color catcher sheet from Bounce I believe that you can put in w/the wash. It really works. I make a lot of quilts w/reds (my favorite color) and also use one of these sheets w/cold water the first time I wash the quilt. The sheets do a great job of catching the bleeding. I know I'll be looking for sweatshirts in red while I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
