Description: This table runner is embroidered by hand in the city of Ayacucho, a town in the Peruvian Andes famous for its embroidery. The women's communities carry out with great mastery all kinds of embroidery that are characterized by their color and details inspired by the flowers, symbols and customs of the region. They use sheep and alpaca wool that is dyed after spinning and carding. The dyes they use are natural; The cochineal is an insect (cactus parasite) from which they obtain a whole range of red, orange and violet colors, depending on the fixative they use (vinegar or minerals). The orange is also taken from a lichen called "qaqa sunkha", the yellow from "q'olle", a flower that grows in the field and the green from the "chilka" leaf. Blue is the most difficult color since you need three different plants that have to ferment for at least a month underground. They get purple with purple corn, which is also used to make drinks (chicha) and potres. Turquoise is obtained from a fungus that grows on the rocks of the jungle and can only be used when it is fresh, at a certain time of the year.
