Simzzzz....

You made the fatal error of doing 'womens work'... it is a mans job in life to drink beer, fart & scratch his balls.... we may even do some DIY when nagged enough (albeit very badly)... everything else is 'womens work'. Apart from gardening. But only if you can do it with power tools & a sit down mower. Oh & Bar B Q's.

Everything else is deffo 'womans work'... learn from it, kick the cat & have a beer

[nics]

you should of just washed it straight away again as the dye wouldnt of had time to settle and proper stain it!!

never ever ever use bleach to sort stains on clothes out, not even whites ciz it just turns them yellow!!

LOL that is EXACTLY what my dad does, cept for we dont have a cat no more so he just kicks the mum instead.

oh my god. I am in shock reading that....

You should have just tried soaking it in cool water. never hot with wool as it shrinks. either that or READ THE BACK of whatever chemicals you were using. I assure you the bleach will have said DO NOT USE ON WOOL!!!!!!

soz dood but i doubt theres much you can do....

R.I.P Jumper....its no good I have give in, theres now a thread bare patch where I put the bleach with some nice orange effects around it.

Wouldnt mind but this is the second time I hand washed a wooly jumper, 1st time a managed to shrink it big time so I went out bought exactly the same jumper because I liked it....this new replacement jumper is the one thats gone and ran dye all over my cream jumper bloody never washing again.

only buying nylon or polyester mix stuff from now on so I can throw it in washing machine.
