However, there are still products related to manually in the technique of Irish lace, are very expensive.
To obtain a air translucent lace cloth, the master first encourages individual motifs (usually flowers and leaves), and then connects them between themselves.
According to one version, the technique of Irish lace was brought to Ireland from France nuns. To create a solid canvase or finished product, a lot of time was required, so the work of the master was divided among themselves: one knitted flowers, the other - leaves, and the third has already collected them with the help of the grid.
In fact, there are several types of Irish lace. For example, Yougal lace was born in the monastery of the city of Yougal (County Cork), where the nuns developed their own lace style and taught local residents to help them survive during potato hunger of the 1840s.
