These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Rhyme Royal Stanza: "Ñandutí"

This Ñandutí, the lace of wondrous grace,
now crafted daily in a Southern town.
In Paraguay, we find this unique place.
Itauguá is where this craft is found.
From Guaraní, the word is known, I'm bound.
The "spider's web"like lace to win the hand
of beauteous daughter, greatest in the land.
