Ooh…. possibly, but possibly not? Since it dried in such little clumps like that, I would spend some time scraping as much of it off as you possibly can. Once you’re sure you can’t get any more dried product off and it’s just the staining left behind, you could try dabbing at it gently with a cotton ball soaked in a bit of 100% acetone. You’ll be trying to lift the color, so don’t scrub at it or push hard, that’ll just grind the color in deeper. Light dabbing, and change the cotton ball out as often as needed to avoid spreading the color further or putting it back into the fabric. You’ll want a clean surface to pick up as much of the color as possible.
All of that said, also check the fabrics first and try to find out if they’ll tolerate the acetone, and listen to anyone else’s advice before mine lol. That’s how I would go at it, but I’m not a laundry expert, so don’t let me accidentally ruin your sweater for real.

Before you do anything check the fabric label and see if your fabric is acetone safe. Natural fibers can usually tolerate acetone but I’d be worried about the effects on some synthetics
