A waistcoat in Carrickmacross, mentioned on the list yesterday, must be breathtaking but how do you care for it?
>From what I have heard it is not a lace that can be washed easily. If the net and >organdie is both cotton it will shrink in water. The shrinkage can be at different >rates. I am working on a little butterfly motif in Carrickmacross to make a card with. We had a workshop on this last Saturday at our guild meeting and it was said that this is not a lace suitable for hard wear. It is a good lace for cards as you can make a simple motif that looks quite striking, not taking too much time. Have anyone tried to wash the material before starting to make the lace? Not that I plan a big project in this but it might be useful information for future reference.
