Can you re-yellow stiching on DM boots?

Title says it all.

My old DM boots are still comfy and are in good nick. The only thing is that the yellow stitching has lost is yellowness. Is there a way of making the stiching bright yellow again?

Is the stitching cotton or nylon?

Cotton is absorbent, so will absorb the dye well. Unfortunately, nylon (and other man-made fibres) aren't nearly as absorbent, so the dye washes off them. Sorry to not be any more help.

Have a look in these sites, might be something!
