Hi, Jeanette,
I never wash my Carrickmacross.  Yes, I have worked one small piece on silk
net, and it worked up well.

Unless you get it dirty I would not bother trying to wash it.

If it was cotton - then I would wash the net and the muslin/lawn (whatever)
separately first, as they might shrink at different levels.
I believe carrickmacross lace is not a very good lace to make if it needs
washing regularly, as the muslin layer, which is only held in place by the
corded stitching can pull away from the couple of threads holding it in
place.

Good luck with the project.
Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz.
