What are Doilies made of?
They are crocheted, tatted, or knitted out of cotton or linen thread.
Many patterns for crocheting or knitting doilies were published by thread manufacturers in the first part of the 20th century. The designers were often uncredited.
What is the best way to wash doilies?
Washing: To keep my doilies looking their best, I prefer to hand wash them. Suds up a little bit of dish soap or a mild detergent in a sink of lukewarm water.
Don’t overdo the soap, it doesn’t take much. You just need a bit of suds, not a lot.
