Descripción : We do not recommend laundering textiles, and do not accept returns of textiles which have been laundered in any manner. , Even dry cleaning is too much for some of these antique textiles. , For some of them, a very gentle HAND washing , (NEVER MACHINE, on any setting) , in cool water with a very gentle detergent works, but even then, dyes may not be colorfast, and fabric may be less strong than it appears. Additional Information: Strips are hand-sewn together. There are generally two sizes of cloths, the smaller woman's, and the larger man's. Kente cloth is the royal cloth of the Asante, of Ghana. This is a woman's cloth. Yellow, red, blue, green , are the dominant colors used by the Asante. In many cases, the thread was obtained by carefully un-picking silk garments, and reweaving them. The looms have two or three heddles. Legend says that the Kente cloth weavers learned their skill from watching a spider, Anansi, who is a significant figure in African folklore.
