[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 2641029, member: 85"]If it is a new item, I can see this happening. I'm assuming we were talking about previously owned and therefore probably washed items.

I would soak the silk in salt water if I thought it hadn't been washed. Not saying something isn't going to run because of this. Just that it might help.[/QUOTE]
