Just want to say "Me too". Metro in Eastern Ontario carries Dr Beckmann's colour catchers. Seems the original can't be imported into Canada due to the chemicals used, so you are unlikely to find them anywhere.

I also agree with the poster who said be careful - my first colour catcher disappeared completely - I assume down the drain. Now I always pin them to the fabric that is likely to bleed. Haven't lost one since
