Cover Clothing Stains With Paint

I have a nice pseudo-Irish off white sweater in raw silk. When it got washed, a pinkish stain got on the bottom part. It's smaller than the bottom of a glass but unsightly. Bleaching it out was probably not going to work, so I hit upon a solution. COVER the stained part of the yarn with off-white acrylic paint. The paint seeped into the yarn and covered the stain nicely. Because it's in a place that doesn't really "show" I can now re-introduce this sweater into my cold weather wardrobe!. Another gambit to try with stains!
