Woolen baby shawl

[Murray Le Breton]

I have a white wool baby shawl which my mother crocheted for my new born
daughter 30 years age and I have had it stored away. Now that my daughter
is pregnant I thought it would be nice for her, but unfortunately it has
light yellow stains in places which so far with soaking it and washing, I
have not been able to remove them. Any help would be appreciated .
Thank you. Yvonne Le Breton

Vinegar in water ( tablespoon per pint ) may help. You can soak the
garment or apply the fluid with a sponge.

Hi Yvonne,

Try Hydrogen peroxide, it should be safe on wool. Simply add it neat to the
stained area, leave it for 5 mins and then flush it away with cold water.
Don't scub or rub the area otherwise you will felt it.

Hope this helps
