Should this be washed with lights or darks?
I have a black sweater-shirt with a white collar. The sweater part is 61% polyester, 34% rayon, and 5% spandex. The white collar is 100% cotton. I'm concerned about the white collar turning blue-y. Should I wash it with darks or lights?
I'd wash it in a delicate load with dark acrylic socks. Usually the dyes in man-made fibers are actually in the fiber itself and don't bleed, or not as badly as yarn or fabric dyed natural fibers. Wash in cold water and woolite.
The only exception I've seen was my sons' soccer jerseys which were maroon and white, and the maroon bled horribly all over the white collar and shoulder stripes. I had to spot treat the white areas every single time I washed them with very dilute bleach/water.
