Just outside of Asunción there is a little town called Itauguá, where this colorful lace is made. (Usually it is way more colorful than this, in fact, with each piece using six or seven different bright colors. But I really liked this yellow one.) It is called ñandutí, and is a craft passed down from mother to daughter. We met a woman who has been doing it since she was seven, who told us that a piece like this would take about 15 days to complete.
