These are hand crocheted angels that I made about 11 or 12 years ago. Unfortunately I used starch to stiffen them and they are starting to yellow quite badly. Will have to start replacing them one of these days.
I would not replace them. The yellowing is a sign of age, that's all, and I think it adds to them, doesn't detract at all. If you are going to replace them though, why not experiment with cleaning them first? Perhaps spray a diluted bleach or other cleaning solution on them, and see if it helps any. I, personally, like the yellowing.

They are so pretty Sandra - shame about the discolouration. Is it possible to wash them and restarch? xx

They are beautiful!
