I haven't soaked it in water and I don't have yellow. It puzzles me too. As for the marker I'd try a Sharpie or other permanent color marker--and I would experiment before using it with good pearls!

I will soak and maybe microwave some green today. I'm using white for the Silk Challenge, so maybe I should make a bracelet with moss green powerpro too.

To be fair, what happens to silk when it is wet and or in the sun? We know its stretches when wet and we know it fades in the sun--what else do we need to know- like does it run when soaked? Some one else will have to try it.
