After the reception, I went back to my room and tried to get the spot out. I could not.
Finally, I dunked the whole scarf in the dregs of Cabernet Sauvignon still left in the plastic cup.Now it is a little pink scarf.
I love it even more.

Adventures in Dyeing
I wore the little white scarf to a reception at my academic conference last week. As I was talking with an old advisor, someone jostled me and I spilled a drop of red wine on the scarf. (My totally imperfect but very loved handspun scarf!)

the pink is beautiful... I think it makes the scarf even better. Nothing better than something that actually has a life (and the scars of life) rather than something that just sits in a drawer perfect, but unused.
That is hilarious! You rock.
Fabulous fix! The scarf looks great.
Brillant! Just what the scarf was pleading for. Now you can suck on the scarf when you are stressed ;-)
I absolutely love that you have a scarf dyed in wine. Good save.
You are wonderful!
Brilliant! And I love pink. Pretty in its own right, *and* you are now impervious to future wine stains as well!
