Carrickmacross Lace Gallery
In the town’s former cattle yards, a local cooperative runs the Carrickmacross Lace Gallery, which sells the distinctive gossamerlike designs. Designs here are appliquéd on organza using thick thread and close stitches. Excess organza is cut away and the work is embellished with a variety of point stitches, guipure, pops and the lace’s distinctive loop edge. Most famously, Carrickmacross lace graced the sleeves of Princess Diana’s wedding dress.
