I am in the process of making a lace item when I just barely spilled sunnyD on it and my skein of crochet thread.

HELP!!! WHAT DO I DO?

Wow, nothing sucks more than when you have a crisis and no one will answer. We need to step up people! there are over 1000+ members here and this post hasn't been responded to for 6 days!
Ok, so, I hope you found a remedy and disaster has been adverted by now, but just in case, I found this article...

Also, if you have any fabric stores near you you may be able to find something there. I remember hearing about some stain remover, but for the life of me I can't find the name of it. I'm so sorry! I hope this info at least helps if you have another accident (I'm hoping you don't though!).

I haven't been on Gaia for a couple weeks -- I wish I caught this sooner!

By now this may not be of much help, but if it's something that might be washable when you're done, I would spray the hell out of it with shout or a similar stain treatment now and, the second you're done, wash wash wash it!

I ended up unraveling the skein of yarn until the stained portions were off of it and I cut if off and threw it away. I had more than plenty to do this with . (almost a full skein) i don't do eniough lace work to justify keeping it all. But thanks to all fo you for answeoring in your own timley manners. !

For future reference you could have probably used Orvus and some water and taken it right out. It is what most cross stitchers use to clean their work.
