Color catchers don't stop the bleeding. They just pick the dye up out of the wash water.
Honestly though, if another fabric doesn't pick that loose dye up it's not a problem.
Oh whew!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!! :o)
Problem is, you never know which fabric is gonna do it to ya. I just washed a bunch of black & white fabric. One of the lighter ones picked up the loose black. Now it is grayer instead of crisp black & white. Another one that had even more white that was in the same load came out still bright white. I think it's a crap shoot whether you prewash or not. I still do it to lessen my chances though!
I'll bet if you wash it a couple more times the loose black dye will wash out. It's still not set.
