"Flower Valley Ayate is washcloth woven from the fibers of the Agave plant. The Flower Valley Ayate is a unique product imported from Mexico. This hand-woven fabric is an ancient answer to modern skin care. Once soaked in water, the natural fibers expand and the weave tightens as if by magic. When you wash with the ayate, you will find it pleasingly abrasive as it restores and stimulates the skin to a smooth invigorating freshness. This versatile cloth is long-lasting and quick-drying. Better than a loofah and is useful in the kitchen as an efficient mar-free utility cloth. ...from an Ancient Tradition The native term ""ayate"" describes loose-woven products such as nets, bags, and various cloths from the agave or century plant. As part of a living tradition that reaches back over 10,000 years, the styles and techniques for these artifacts are as old as Mesoamerican culture itself. Cultivated in Mexico, the agave not only inspired the beginnings of agriculture, it was the wellspring of religion. The plant provided both needle and thread, fabric, furniture, baskets, mats, blankets, brushes, bridles, paper, soap, shelter, food, candy, drink, and medicine. Little wonder then that the Aztecs venerated the agave and personified it as the goddess Mayahuel. From the hands of a native people and the heart of a sacred tradition, the quality and value of the ayate has endured and will survive well into the future. Try it and you'll see."
