Ñanduti, meaning spiderweb in the Guarani language, is the name of Paraguay's famous lace-craft. It first made an appearance in the late 16th century after the Spaniards introduced it, and made an appearance at just about every little market we stumbled upon.

| Various designs...too bad my suitcase wasn't larger |
This shop specialized in ñanduti designs...from tiny earrings, to embroidered shirts, to hats, decorative wall hangings, and more. I love how colorful and intricate each one was! For as many products as were in that shop, there were unique variations in each item and it was so difficult to choose which ones I wanted to buy (or rather, which ones to leave behind)!!
