For sure in Metro ... and if you don't see it, ask, as they can definitely get it.
Likewise at the other stores.
The distributor is in Mississauga and their market is expanding.
They will sell to LQS' too.
Here's a link to an earlier thread ...

You can see what the box looks like, and know what you're looking for.
I've been using them faithfully for almost a year now ... and wouldn't wash new fabric without.
As mentioned above, I've had huge surprises all along the way.
Just recently did some red batik.
... and we think batik + red is a recipe for instant disaster!
Nope! It stayed as white as could be!
Then there's been other pale fabrics that you think, no problem.
........ Dr. Beckmann grabs all sorts of dye!
As a safety precaution ... I attach the colour collector to an old wash cloth with safety pins.
Some have reported their washing down the drain, and then an expensive service call later.
Now, I keep a stack already pinned and ready to drop in the machine.
