The book introduces beautiful Peruvian Ayacucho Embroideries and their patterns.
Brightly colored woolen embroidery from the Ayacucho region of southern Peru.
This is the world's first technique book that even beginners can enjoy.
Ayacucho, located in southern Peru, is a city at an altitude of 2,731 meters above sea level, surrounded by the Andean mountains, with various folk art villages scattered throughout the beautiful green valley.
The city is known as the "Capital of Folk Art" because of the variety of folk art that can be found here, and is particularly famous for the beauty of Ayacucho embroidery, which is made with brightly colored woolen threads.
Ayacucho embroidery is said to have been created when the weaving tradition that existed before the Spanish colonial period in the 17th century was combined with Western techniques.
While many traditional Andean handicrafts were banned during the colonial period, embroidery was not, and has been passed down from mother to daughter.
The motifs have been created under the influence of nature and Andean culture, such as the plants, flowers, and birds that grow in Ayacucho.
This book carefully explains the unique stitches and motifs often used in Ayacucho embroidery.
In addition to a collection of designs of common plant motifs, the book also suggests small fabric items for daily use such as pouches and cushions that incorporate the designs.
The book contains designs and recipes that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from those who are new to embroidery to those who are already familiar with it.
Ayacucho embroidery uses Peruvian acrylic, alpaca, and wool yarns, but the materials used in this book are handicraft yarns and fabrics that are easy to purchase in local craft stores.
Since thicker threads are used than embroidery threads, it takes less time to complete a piece of work compared to general embroidery.
The vivid colors and strong motifs unique to South America are sure to bring a smile to the faces of many who pick up a needle.

Helped Tighten My Skin & Minimize Pores
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule, Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’ve loved the Dr. Melaxin Cyano Pink Spicule Serum! The bottle is small, but it lasted me around 6 months since I only use one pump every other night. When I first started using it, I noticed a tingling sensation, but over time my skin adjusted and I barely notice it now. I’ve definitely seen my pores appear smaller and my skin feels tighter and smoother after using it.

Great for pore reduction
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
This product works great!! it almost feels like an exfoliator. It reduced the pours on my nose, which were very big and now you can barely see them. I would recommend this product if you have large pores also make skin look firmer and smoother more for a night cream though.

Micro-needling effect!
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
Love how you can feel the micro-needling effect. I use this is my first application after toning and follow up with my serum and moisturizing routine. I do believe it gives my face a plump feeling, especially after gua sha. Will continue to use in my daily!

Helps my moisturizer absorb better
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’m not quite sure if the product is fully working the way it is supposed to but I do like that when I use this and the apply moisturizer, it absorbs into my skin better and leaves my skin smoother and a lot less greasy. It’s easy to throw in my travel bag because of the size and you really only just need a little for each use so it goes a long way got the cost.
