Limerick lace is an embroidered needle lace made in Limerick in Ireland.
It is formed on a mesh using one or both of two techniques:
- Tambour – where chain stitch is created using a hook.
- Needlerun – where stitches are darned onto the ground using a needle.
The lace was noted for its variety of delicate fillings, as many as 47 different ones being found in one collar. [1]
The industry was started in 1829 By Charles Walker. The industry was revived in the late 1880s.[2]
When John F. Kennedy visited Limerick in 1963 he was presented with a lace christening robe.
Limerick Museum hold the largest collection of Limerick Lace in the country.
