Always wash the scarf by hand, in lukewarm water, in which detergent intended for wool has been previously dissolved. Avoid products with a bleaching effect! This will prevent the scarf from aging and turning into felt.  Wash by pressing, not rubbing. Rather, gently move the scarf back and forth in the bowl, slightly squeezing. This will prevent the delicate lace from being damaged. After washing, gently squeeze the scarf to dry. Wringing will damage the lace. The most convenient way is to place the wet scarf between a folded terry towel, roll it up, and then press firmly to catch the excess water in the linen.
If there is no frame, lay the wet scarf on a flat surface (e.g. on a carpet, bed, sofa covered with white linen), mark the size by tightening the corners of the scarf with pins. Make sure that the pins are stainless. To make the work easier, pass white sewing thread behind the pins securing the corners of the scarf to create a conditional rectangle, which you can use to secure it. Then, fix the centers of the wet scarf on both the sides and ends of the scarf. Always attach the tassel tips parallel to each side of the scarf to ensure the pattern stretches evenly. Continue attaching the scarf tips from the spaces between the needles until all the tassel tips are tightened.
