    I have used an excellent dry cleaner to take out everything I have thrown at them. I always ask and they are very honest with me. Some things they can't get out, if you have fiddled with them too much. Keep it in cold water and give them a phone call.

    If you have not dryed the sweater in the dryer and if the sweater can withstand hot water, then Synthrapol may work for you. If you dried it in the dryer, then the color is probably heat set and won't come out. I have used Synthrapol a number of times on quilts and clothing, and the color has been removed -- it may take several washings. This is a staple on my laundry room shelf.

    Yes, the color catchers are really good.

    A friend of mine used Oxy-clean on a quilt in which the red bled onto the light background, and it worked like a charm.
