Hand Embroidery Thread

I need help with an embroidery thread stains on fabric after I take the thread out.?

I embroidery large purple letters on my project and then dicovered a defect in the project so I am taking out the letters, but there is a trace of purple still apperent. The fabric is a cross stitch 14 count I beleive, it was originaly whitek, but I died it taupe with a fabric die from the store. I want to know how to get the purple traces out, so I can re-embroider the purple in a slightly different place. I can not wash the entire project since it has embroidery elsewhere. But I can hand wash this part. I want to know if there is any soap to use, or tool. thanks.

I looked through my cross stitch reference books and the only mention of staining says to keep rinsing the piece in cool to luke warm water only-no soap. It seems no thread companies want to admit there can be bleeding of their floss. I couldn’t find anything else. Don’t wring your fabric out or make any kind of wrinkles in it or you’ll have more problems. When the stains rinse out (hopefully), put your piece between two towels to sop up the water and let the piece dry naturally-no dryer. I do full coverage cross stitch so if I have to rip out, I’m just restitching, so bleeding is no problem for me. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
