Thanks for your insight, everyone!
I think I´ll just leave them the way they are. I
hand-rolled the edges - so that´s why I can´t get
a test-snippet and why I´d greatly appreciate not
to have to replace them. :-) However, I must have
used a very weak solution of bleach - the fabric
is still in very good condition.

remember my mom using it on slips that yellowed from chlorine bleach.
The term"Blue Hair" denoting an aged lady was
coined from the use of this same laundry blueing
as a hair rinse to negate the yellow tinge
grey,silver or white hair gets from age and enviorment.
I would not,unfortunately, expect those tippets
to last very long, theytend to shatter under stress after a bleaching.

Hello,
I have a pair of pongé silk tippets, which turned from white to yellow (like
unbleached muslin) after I put them in chlorine bleach. Yes, I know, I
shouldn´t have done that, but it was my last try to remove a nasty
linnseed-oil-spot... Anyway, does anybody know any trick how to get them white
again? I wear them with a blue dress, so they still look like white, but it
would be so nice to have them really white again.
Any ideas?
Hanna
