Good question! She said that the fibers looked deteriated..but didn't say of the colors faded either by sun or chemicals..I don't think.

Trust me on this, Kim. Acrylic doesn't fade.

It was just a thought. I still believe that BVD had something going on with DW. Not too far-fetched. BVD plays/gives hugs to Danielle sometime before going out to "girls' night out". BVD and DW later on are rolling around in the MH. Lots of fiber transference going on. Danielle's body, having red fibers on her necklace, is exposed to elements/sun and fibers get dis-colored.

Could red fibers become sun bleached and look an orange color if left outside for a couple weeks?

Depends on what shade of red it was. If the dyes used hads a bit of yellow in it, and the fiber was beck dyed as opposed to solution dyed, it could have faded with esposure to the sun over a two week period. If it was just a straight red dyed fiber, it could have faded to a more pink cast, but not to orange.

FYI information, the reason the old brown shag carpets faded to orange and then to yellow is because the color brown is a mixture of yellow, red and blue dyes. Blues fades the fastest which turns the carpet to an orange color (yellow mixed with red) and then the red eventually fades out leaving yellow. Yellow virtually neve fades.
