Assembling kente
Kente consists of multiple woven strips. Each strip is woven in a continuous band, four to eight inches wide, that is later cut into shorter lengths and sewn together into a single cloth.
To weave, one must have two sets of yarn--the warp and the weft--interlacing at right angles. The lengthwise thread held in tension is the warp. A weaver works the weft through the warp by passing the yarn over and under the tautly held warp threads.
