Irish crochet is worked with a very fine crochet hook and a fine crochet cotton or linen thread. Rosslea lace and Clones lace are forms of Irish crochet lace. Some forms of Irish crochet lace are still being produced, or are even actively being promoted. It is being used, together with other forms of Irish lace, for the traditional Irish dance costume.
Irish lace is also produced in India, in the village of Narsapur, and was introduced by Irish missionaries
