Default Color catchers

Be sure to use color catchers. I am amazed at how much color they catch. I will not wash fabric or jeans without them!

I keep trying to wash like colors for piles that have 3yds or less. But that's tough with my rather eclectic stash and having to do repeated washings to clear out the dye! Long day ahead of me here.
