This is a lovely colour and feels great but it RUNS more than any other red fabric I have ever had. I prewashed with a swatch of white to check, and the swatch came out dark pink. I prewashed a further 2 times and no improvement. In fact, when I used my washing machine for a white wash afterwards, the shirts came out a very pale pink!! Be warned and wash any garments you make on their own. Not suitable for colour blocking with other fabrics.
