We noticed a post about how to save pieces of antique crochet–or even your favorite new design and color work, by embedding the swatch in resin. You can then make them into jewelry or other mementos.

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?
