I've got to wash it before I work with it because it'll knock you over it stinks so bad! Has anyone else had this problem?
If the packet got wet, it most assuredly happened with the carrier and not with the shop that sent it. What was the liquid that got the packet wet? If all is well with the fabrics, I'd just wash it and hopefully the smell will be gone. I would contact the shop, let them know what happened. Suggest maybe they change carriers or packaging method. Small box instead of envelope. Just a thought.
