HI Andrea,

do you find that you have any bleeding on the sari silks?

Yes! The blues are reds are the worst. I wash them twice at least, rinse with vinegar. These ones smelled quite musty also, but are much better now. I find even new commercial silks (and wool, for that matter) can bleed as well. I have had to toss a silk or 2, but have had some good luck.

Beautiful silks! Do you have a favorite seller for your Sari silks, that you would be willing to share?
Thanks!

I just search sari silks on ebay/etsy and go from there. No favorites. It can be hit or miss. Avoid ones that are called "Art" silk. "Art" has nothing to do with it...it is short for "artificial"!
I know from experience.
