This is a wonderful idea! I have a friend who just cherishes her family crochet projects, and want to preserve them in some unique way. Thanks you for the information.

I loved the idea of resin. But…I have items that my mom put away for 50+ years not stored properly. All of them are cotton thread, spotted with unknow things. How can I clean these without breaking threads,or making things worse?
