\nThey say on the 17th<\/sup> of March everyone is Irish,
\naccording to my grandmother.  Ireland is
\nknown for many things, including shamrocks, sheep and green, green grass. For
\ntextile enthusiasts there is also Irish linen and lace.<\/div>\n

\nThere are several types of lace that were made in Ireland in
\nthe late 18th<\/sup> C (in small amounts from croft workers) and in the mid
\n19th<\/sup> C when nuns and professional teachers designed and taught lace
\ntechniques, founded schools and centers. 
\nTheir students became the teachers and were sent to villages throughout
\nthe district.  The main centers were
\nMonaghan and Cloves in the north and Cork in the south.<\/div>\n

\n Four types of Irish lace are generally recognized:<\/div>\n
\n Limerick
\n\u2013 tamboured embroidery made on a machine-made bobbin net.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nCarickmacross \u2013 appliqu\u00e9 muslin, again on a machine-made
\nnet, was surrounded by a cordonnet (raised edge covered entirely by stitching).<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n Younghal \u2013 flat needle- lace that was made to resemble
\nVenetian needle-lace with many motifs surrounded by buttoned-holed loops and
\nscallops.  Sometimes made in cotton but
\nusually in linen thread.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n  <\/div>\n
\n<\/o:p><\/div>\n
\nIrish Crochet Lace \u2013 This may be the most familiar of the
\nIrish laces.  Shamrocks, bunches of
\ngrapes, daisies and roses were the most common motifs.  Raised effects were  created by using several thicknesses of
\nthreads – for instance, thread was wound around a rod or pencil to form a
\nring.  The ring was then worked over
\nwith a double or triple crochet or buttonhole stitch.  The overall design was traced on a linen ground and when the
\nmotifs were finished they were tacked onto the pattern and filling crochet
\nstitches were worked around the motifs. 
\nThis techniques was adapted to imitate continental needle-made laces
\nsuch as Venetian Rose Point.<\/div>\n
