Vomit on your Merino?

[Sara_H]

When I was in A&E a few weeks ago, it apparently caused slight mirth in the resus room when I roused temporarily from my stupor and said to my OH "don't let them get blood on my merino......". I was at the time wearing my nice pale grey Embers Merino top:

Well, the A&E staff were fab, and not a drop of red stuff touched my merino - there's a nice green vomit stain down the front though!
Any top tips? It's been through the wash a few times now, including once with Vanish, to no avail. Will I have to pretend its part of the pattern?

http://www.dr-beckmann.co.uk/how-to-remove-stains/ doesn't seem to have an option for vomit, but you could contact them for advice.
Alternatively, have you asked the suppliers? They'll probably have some idea of what's possible......and if not, they'll appreciate your anecdote. Maybe they'll be inspired to start a camouflage range?

I hope this thread will create a little bit more appreciation for my all-black look!!

No - definitely need to match my merino to my panniers. Maybe I should by vomit coloured panniers?

Try http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Vomit-Stains-from-Clothing - although if you've washed it already I presume you've "set" the stain in the clothing!

It could be that the acidity of the vomit affected the dye in the fabric.

Dye it back to same colour?

I don't know about vomiting paniers, can be tricky!
But, look.. you can buy one of those:

and then you can glue on of those on it..

et voila! Clever eh?

Marvelous - Could glue them onto panniers too, total outfit co-ordination achieved!!

See? There is always a way around..
(although I very much doubt so in regards to the original merino base layer.. )!
