Busia, a poet and daughter of former Ghanaian Prime Minister Dr. K. A. Busia, relates the stories of three kente cloths in her collection. |
Steam puddings with dried fruit or jam for flavouring were boiled in basins with cloths tied over the top. |
After doing several areas, dry off excess moisture with soft absorbent cloths or towels, which can be laundered and reused. |
Two of the most prestigious silk cloths are also woven on looms fitted with a flying shuttle. |
If the finish is waxed, do not use oiled or treated cloths, as they may make the wax sticky. |
Most contemporary kente cloths reflect the ongoing experimentation with colors. |
