About

Hi! I’m Mikayla Kurkjian, and I started Digin Haiganoush to make Armenian needlelace and embroidery more accessible to the English-speaking diaspora and anyone interested in Armenian culture. Digin Haiganoush is named after my great-grandmother, an Armenian Genocide survivor and prolific needleworker. Here you can find tutorials for different styles of lace and embroidery as I continue to explore heritage needlework and folk embroidery.
