Hi Alex,
I suggest you mangle your tablecloth. If this were 100 years ago,
all linen tablecloths, woven or lace, would be mangled as a matter
of course. Linen threads are supposed to be mangled - that's what
gives linen its gloss, supple hand, and smooth fine threads. Most
weavers are aware of the need for finishing their handwoven linens
by mangling, but lacemakers seem to have forgotten how to finish
linen items. My handweaving books have complete directions for
mangling, but lacebooks don't mention it! Please let me know if you
would like to know how to mangle.
