Day - 3

Pictured above are weavers weaving the delicate kente cloth.  It is made in strips, which are sewn together to make expensive clothing.  It is rather expensive (Ghc15 for a strip which is about 8cm wide) so clothes made of kente are treasured and only worn on very special occasions.  Yellow, red and green is slightly more traditional, but they are made in all sorts of colours.  Kente is from the Kumasi area, where the Akan people live.
