What a laugh!
The edges of the lace
Having gone through the laundry
Is best described as ghostly ,
recoiled, remade, redundant, regrettable, ravaged, ruptured , rankled, rueful
a razzmatazz, relapsed with remorse, remonstrating, reproach, replete with
a rejoinder, restricting robust use,
a ruse in rustic repulsion!
Whew! Let’s down a beer!
So, who’s the wise guy?

Aha,you've organized those random words into a manageable whole. Ghostly lace,I can imagine there's a whole lot of those in the chests in attics of old houses.

Enjoyed it... reminds me of the time my youngest stuck crayons in his pocket and I ran them in the wash with my daughter's pink tights the night before her dance recital. Live and learn, right?
