Step into the world of traditional Irish lace and discover a craft shaped by patience, skill and remarkable creativity.

From Carrickmacross to Youghal, Irish lace became famous for its delicate patterns and fine workmanship. During the Great Famine and the difficult years that followed, lace-making provided valuable work and income for thousands of Irish families.

This beautifully illustrated RareGer card explores the history of Irish lace, the tools used by lace makers and four distinctive Irish lace traditions:

  • Carrickmacross Lace

  • Irish Crochet Lace

  • Limerick Lace

  • Youghal Lace

A lovely piece of Irish heritage to treasure, especially for anyone interested in Irish history, traditional crafts and family memories.

Our past. Our heritage. Our skills. Our Ireland.
