I echo what others have said about dying and I'm not sure how stable tea
would be. You have to be careful with tea anyway as much of the tea is very
orange (called Orange Pekoe with good reason). You would have to try black
tea to see what colour comes out - or use herbal teas which have a very nice
range of pink/red colours.
I would say that I had a piece of filet lace which was very badly stained
and I left it in soak, changing the water every day for about 2-3 weeks.
Rubbed the stained bit with neat cleaner (i.e. Orvis or one of the liquid
soaps suitable for woollens and cold wash). However, I'm not sure that even
that much soaking will remove rust stains.
Malvary in Ottawa where it is a lot cooler today after two very scorching
hot, high humidity days.
