Cross Stitch question

    Hi all

    I am nearly finished a cross stitch project that I started almost 3 years ago. Some of the white seems to have become stained in places while other bits are ok.

    Does anyone have any advice on what I should do to bring it all back to the snow white that it should be or will I have to live with a blotchy image?

    Any help is appreciated.

    If you have any wool left the easiest thing would probably be to restitch the blotchy bits.

    Didn't think of that, thanks, but unfortunately not possible.

    Would washing it risk the darker colours bleeding?

    Possibly. If you do decide to wash it use cool water and a wool handwash soap (or shampoo), don't rub at it. Rinse and dry flat on a folded towel.
