In the very old traditional stories told by the Asante, the spider Anansi taught the art of weaving to two brothers who had discovered his web while on a hunting trip. Anansi also taught them how to spin and dye the threads. Since then the Asante have used the strip looms Anansi taught them to build. Sample Slide Random Slides From This PowerPoint Show

In Ghana the men do the weaving on a strip loom. They weave a very long strip of fabric about the width of a hand. The narrow strip is then cut into pieces which are sewn together to make the finished cloth. Sample Slide Random Slides From This PowerPoint Show
