Limerick lace is an embroidered needle lace 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.

This is associated with the city of Limerick in Ireland.

When John F. Kennedy visited Limerick in 1963 he was presented with a lace christening robe.
