Color Catchers -- YEAH!
I'm pretty new to this board so I don't know if this has been done to death, but I want to know if others love color catchers as much as I do.
I just bought a lot of dark fabric for my stash at a LQS while we were traveling. I always wash new fabrics before they are allowed to join my stash and I tossed in a color catcher. They're little sheets of something (paper? fabric? I don't know), smaller than a dryer sheet, that you put in the washer with dark things. When I washed the new fabric, a white turtleneck sweater snuck in there and, under other circumstances, it would have been a goner. But with the color catcher, the white sweater stayed white and the colors are great (Wow, just realized I sound like a television ad!), but the little sheet is dark brown.
I've used at least two different brands and have been very happy with all of them. Does anyone else use them? Does anyone know how they work?
