I don't think I have any lace that needs laundered frequently. None of it is attached to something that gets laundered.
If something gets dirty, then I'll hand wash it gently and lay it out flat, very wet, to air dry. Some heavy needlelace items have needed the outside edges pinned to hold it in shape but most things need no pins. I make lace for the challenge of the pattern and the pleasure of seeing the item growing in front of me. Most of my laces are given away or put on display boards, though in recent years I have made scarves and collars that I sometimes wear.

How many people actually plan to launder their lace frequently? Devon - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
