Let's see.  Try directly applying woolite to the spot, rubbing gently, and then
washing in the sink.  Try a dish soap such as Ivory.  I can't swear for every
pencil, but dish soap has removed many a blood stain for me, along with grease,
ink and pencil.  A _very_ careful application of goo gone has removed an oil stain
from my blackwork.

Hope this helps,
