wool staining or variegation

[CDNSushi]

You have to find out what the staining is before you can do anything with it. You certainly can't dye it without knowing whether it is mineral based or if it is vegetable based.Chas

Good point. I never even considered that. Hard to say until I get someone to look at it or maybe see if Jerry knows at all...

As you can see here, depending on how you look at it and what lighting you use to view it, it ranges from being kinda noticeable to not so noticeable...









This last one distorts the color but maybe it's easier to see what's happening with the variegation...

I think it is definitely noticeable. Another thought struck me. Not all staining is benign. If there is some acid or alkali content in the stain, then it could be eating the kilt away as we speak. I think the option 2 has become more urgent.
