NATIVE STRIPES
African cloths, all cotton, made to imitate the native-made cloths, which are woven on hand looms in widths from 4-in. to 6-in. From six to ten of these narrow fabrics are sewn together and the stitching shows up as a thick cord. The Lancashire maker imitates this as near as possible. Widths 30-in. to 40-in., 100 yards long, 52 ends and 40 picks per inch, 8's grey, 10's colour warps, 7's waste weft. Cords occur every 4-in. made by three ends of the 8's warp working as one. They are shipped in the loom state in 6 yard, 8 yard or 10 yard ends.
