Restoring White Color to Old Crocheted Items?

My daughter is expecting twins and would like to use the shawls that her grandmother crocheted for her as a baby. They have yellowed with age and were knitted in what we call Bri-Nylon. Any ideas on how to get back to that lovely white color back?

Rit Dye makes several products for removing color and stains. I have used one called "color remover" or "whitener" (can't remember which) to whiten nylon undergarments that had gotten yellow.

I've used color-safe bleach(gentler than regular bleach) with good results. But why not keep that beautiful yellowed color?

It's so precious, it says, "this was handed down with love".
