I made a very narrow "scarf" with recycled sari silk a year or two ago. I have worn it several times and have had no issues with the colors running! Unless you're caught in a deluge, you shouldn't worry about the colors running, and if you *are* caught in a deluge, take the scarf off!
This is all said because the colors are so bright and beautiful, I would be reluctant to change that quality in the yarn!
