paint in a wool carpet

Minneapolis, MN(Zone 4b)

How do I get white paint out of a wool braided rug? It is hand made and thus needs to be handled gently, no machine cleaning. It isn't thick, but because it is braided it is down in the space between the braids.

Last winter I purchased two room size hand made braided rugs at an estate sale. We brought them to our cabin and left them there until last weekend when we opened the cabin for the summer. Well we didn't see some white paint stains on one of the carpets when we bought it. We were so excited to find them that we didn't look under the furniture like we should have. The one side has the paint the other is a bit worn.

Does anyone know how I can get the paint out by hand?
