Wash in hot water and use color catchers (Tide). I would also do a second wash and if you can rinse in hot water to be sure or throw in a white cloth when you get ready to rinse. If it bleeds in cold water, it will really bleed in hot water. If this continues get in touch with the manufacturer. Ask for your money back. I purchased some Wendover material that was green and white for St. Patrick's day costume. I sent all 3 yards back. I was informed to use cold water wash. It still bled and onto my hands after drying. never will purchase Wendover again. Took me 3 months to get my money back.
