Pam, Thanks for your comments on soy silk. Interesting. When this came on the market recently, I wondered how the yarns would hold up when made into finished goods, take dyes, etc. Every vendor was extolling the properties of the fiber, but no one - not even the Chinese sites that were manufacturing the fiber - gave any information on laundering, wrinkling, durability, etc. of the finished cloth.
Apparently soy silk was on the market a long time ago in the early days of synthetics and didn't hold up to UV light well and disappeared. Not they can mix UV inhibitors into the chemical goo before extrusion and solve that issue, but I'm still waiting for more results to cme in before using any in my spinning or weaving. Did the Kool-Aid (acid dye) dyed skein at least retain the color after washing?
