thread in two weights.

Comments: Limerick lace was the most
expensive of the Irish laces in the 19th century. The lacework on this
stole is all hand embroidered onto the cotton net ground using a tambour stitch.
Sprays of wild flowers cascade out of ribbons tied in bows. The bows,
flower petals and leaves are delicately shaded by various needlerun
fillings. A beautiful handmade lace summer stole!
