Irish crochet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Irish crochet is a type of lace, which has its origin in the famine years of the 19th century in Ireland. This type of lace is characterized by separately crocheted motifs which were later assembled into a mesh background. Other types of Irish crochet include Rosslea and Clones lace.

There are five types of Irish laces in addition to Irish crochet; these are Carrickmacross lace, Youghal lace, Kenmare lace, Limerick lace, and Inishmacsaint lace.
