It has likewise been the popular technique for the Irish embroidered tulle laces, viz. Carrickmacross and Limerick. Essentially a chain stitch technique, its myriad forms are fully explored through photos and drawings. After an introduction to the basic techniques for thread, bead and net embroidery, the author offers an inspirational collection of designs with both traditional and contemporary themes.
