Embroidered Red Wool Table Runner Peru

Handwoven and hand embroidered wool table runner from Peru. The floral pattern is done using different embroidery and crewel stitches in white and grey, on top of a handwoven red wine wool cloth. The crocheted edge and pompoms on the ends are done with the same colors of the embroidery. We purchased this directly from an artisan group in Ayacucho, Peru.
