Help! Washing Blunder

I inadvertently put a yellow duster in the washing machine along with my daughter's favourite pink wooly jumper. The jumper now has yellow dye running through it. Any ideas on how I can get the jumper back to its natural glory please? I have used colour run in the past but I'm not sure if this would work on wool.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated - many thanks.

    If its any help I've done the same.

    These a colour run remover which woolmark recommend, it has their, sort of ball of wool logo on it.

    I'm sure its called Ace and can be found in the supermarket with the washing powder etc.

    I know this isn't too clear, but hope it helps.
