Somewhere in my collection of lace bits I have two short lengths of
rayon (art silk) lace; same pattern (Beds Maltese IIRC) but one had
been washed the other not and the difference is quite noticable. Too
late tonight, but if I can find them I'll scan them for everyone to
see.

This problem may be worse in embroidery, where so much of the effect
has to do with the regularity of threads lying beside one another. But
I would be interested to know if anyone who has made rayon lace has a
piece that has not been dampened and one that has, and can tell us
whether dampening or washing has changed the way lace looks at all.
