Thanks for that link. I need to clean some silver and silver gilt embroidery
threads that tarnished in the bag before they go onto a project, and had no
idea how to deal with them.

Maybe this method?

I'd watch it closely and remove as soon as silver is bright enough, and
rinse really well. It does say to have the silver touching the foil, so you
might have to fiddle with it a bit.
Good Luck!

Doesnt sound like silver if it's yellowing. Silver turns black when it
tarnishes, which it does, very fast, as you probably know. Or is it the fabric
that is yellowing?

If it's real silver, then a half-and-half mixture of water and baking soda will
clean off the oxidation, and probably not harm the silk? I don't know, I've
never been near silk with wet baking soda, I only know it works for cleaning
silver.
