crochet Tablecloth




How do I clean my grandmother's 60 yr. old crocheted tablecloth?

I would make a couple recommendations:

Visit a craft fair and ask one of the craftspeople to inspect your tablecloth. Chances are the tablecloth is cotton, then you'll be able to hand wash it by using wool-Ite. There is a chance, though, that if this tablecloth was made during WWII that it is made from wool. In that case, you don't want to put it in water at all.

Either way, I would urge you to have someone who's experienced in crochet take a look at it. There is also solution which is sold at craft stores (JoAnn, Michael's, etc.) for laundering delicate crocheted items. I've been a crocheter for 5 years (my mother does thread crochet) and we've never taken an item to a dry cleaner to launder. My mom feels that the dry cleaners use chemicals which may deteriorate the thread.
