About sizing: Every piece is hand-woven, so sizes vary a little from cloth to cloth. Most measure about 6 ft 1 in × 4 ft 1 in (roughly 2 × 1⅓ yards, or 185 × 124 cm). Some are slightly smaller, but none is shorter than 6 ft in length.
Woven in Akwete
Made on the wide upright loom in Akwete, an Ndoki community in Ukwa East, Abia State, where weaving has been passed from one generation of women to the next for well over a century.

Open bands
Clean horizontal bands that let the colour carry the cloth. The quietest Akwete pattern and the hardest to hide mistakes in.
Care
Dry clean, or hand wash cold with mild soap and dry flat in the shade. Iron on the reverse on a medium heat. Store folded with tissue, away from direct sun.
