In Abomey, master weavers sit at narrow strip looms and produce kinte fabric one strip at a time, then sew the strips together into full cloths. The patterns are named after proverbs: the tortoise walks slowly but arrives, the hand cannot reach what the eye sees beyond. Each strip is a sentence and each cloth is a story that takes days to tell.
