Aso-oke is a Nigerian form of strip weaving, which has also found popularity in other west African countries. In particular the demand for it in recent years has been so great in Ghana, that Ghanaian weavers have taken on some of the Aso-oke techniques in their own weavings. We have a few samples from an Ewe weaver who has created some lovely Aso-oke style weavings incorporating traditional Kente designs with the Aso-oke technique of openwork, which are holes created by using extra weft threads, which themselves form a floating crossing pattern on the front of the cloth.
