Is it possible to remove an old coffee stain from a cream sweater?

The sweater is made from arcylic, nylon and wool. I tried to wash the sweater with stain remover and it's fainter, but still there. Is it a lost cause?

    Mix a cup of Tide to three cups of water and put it in a good spray bottle, keep it for pre spotting your stain. Spray it right on the stain, you can wash it now or leave it in the basket for latter. It's good stuff maybe the best. Just another of Mothers little secrets.

    It is probably inside the threads. Try full strength liquid laundry detergent on it and rub it with both hands, rinse & repeat. Coffee is in the protein stain group so laundry detergent should handle it . . . Unless stain is so old that combined with air oxidized it; may be permanent, then.

    Coffee and cream are *supposed* to go together, aren't they?

    If you keep treating the sweater, it'll keep getting fainter, but it'll still be there.

    Could you embroider something to cover it up? Maybe the original Starbucks logo?
