How to sort colors for washing fabric
I was the lucky recipient of 4 bags of quilting cottons. They used to belong to a quilter, when she died her sister got them. Now the sister is moving and can't take them, so I got them.
They had a slight odor to them so I've decided to wash them all. I have a lot of blue, white and red. But just a small quantity of green, less of purple and a tiny bit of yellow. It will be easy to wash all the blues, reds and whites in their own loads. What would you recommend I do with the green, purple and yellow? Teeny tiny loads or would they be ok mixed with another color? If so, which color?
For the record, I'm using color catchers in each load and a sacrificial white cotton piece too.
Thanks.
