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... http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1327694/grandmas_stain_busters_still_work_in_modern_times/
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!).
uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh can you bleach it ?????? if you can that would be good but otherwise i have no idea sorry. sweatdrop

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.
