First Line
A/Ashanti (uh shant' ee) weavers make a beautiful cloth called "Kente." They weave it in bright silk thread and give each different design a name. One, which is mostly yellow, is called "Gold Dust." Another, called "When the Queen Comes to Accra," is a favorite of many Ashanti women. "One Man Cannot Rule a Country" was designed especially for Ghana's first president. The Ashanti King drapes himself in a special "Kente" that only he may wear.
