Teresa is correct. I learned where I visited India that they call anything that looks silky “silk.” If you want real silk, you have to ask for “natural silk.” Poly, rayon, probably tencel, and silk are all called silk, but asking for natural silk brought out only the real thing. So your cone of yarn would be called silk there. The problem is mis-communication, not fraud. Now that you know, you can be more specific in the future.

If they lied about fiber content, they don’t deserve anything but negative feedback, even if they do return your money. Sorry, I’m a hardliner on this one!

Since I don’t have many down/sick days, I enjoy them when they happen. Feel what you are feeling, don’t try to ignore it. Most times, if you just acknowledge you are having a crummy day, it helps lighten the whole experience.

feed back on rayon yarn. I taught at a technical college (textiles) and had students from India. They did not always know the difference between rayon and silk or seem to think it was important (many long discussions), it seemed to be a cultural thing. You might want to put it as”mislabeled as silk” as the seller might not have know or thought it important.
