    to have flannel fade onto other pieces of flannel I was washing in the washing machine. Lucky for me it only faded onto two small pieces. I had several pieces I was pre washing and they were all light colors but one had a really small design that was a dark yellow. Has anyone else had trouble with flannel doing this?

    I always use Shout Color Catchers and I never have a problem.

    Same here. I think these things should go in every load! Colors would stay so much brighter!

    I do like the others and use shout color catchers.

    It's not a problem I've had. But I prewash my flannels twice because of shrinking.

    My DD bought me some of those shout color catchers. I am going to try them soon. Great idea.
