My friend Amber messaged me last week asking about where to buy yarn here in Lima. So I offered to take her to some of my favourite local lana shops in the center this past Friday. We called a couple more friends and we were off.
The day began with me spilling diet coke all over my white t-shirt, so it was off to the Indian market to find a new top. I quickly found a beautiful tunic for 25 soles (about $7)... Perfect! There are so many beautiful things in that place and the prices are irresistible. Any ideas for repurposing Indian scarves and bandanas btw? At 2-3 soles each they're hard to pass up, but you can only have so many.
We went all around the galleries surrounding the Mercado Central and found crafter's paradise. Amber found her yarn, I found some beads and findings I was looking for (like a kilo of them) and everyone went home with something interesting.
No pictures this time because the camera's broken... hopefully for the next adventure...
