Hoo boy! I thought I'd already washed all of these fabrics so I was surprised to see so much free dye captured in the Color Catcher. They're now all soaking in a bucket with some Synthropol and then I'll short wash them with some Retayne. Hopefully that will work well enough.
Whenever people tell me that they don't regularly pre-wash all their new fabrics I try really hard not to make a face, but I know I probably do. And the above is why! Why would you risk it?
