Hi Betsy,

    It is definitely alpaca metal that has discoloured - not wool. It
    was in a rubber barreled tumbler with  soap solution - Raytech
    tumbling soap. I am planning to try the following on the smallest
    sample at the next workshop: Silver Dip, my Speedbrite, Haggerty's
    Silver Care polish, Twinkle copper cleaner.  I feel just terrible
    that the chains didn't come out nice and shiny. 

Any other ideas out there?
Thanks,
Karen in frozen Toronto - will winter never end?
