The women weavers of K'amolon K'i K'ojonel find inspiration in the legendary tale of "Xocomil" to select the palette of blue undertones that colors this chenille scarf in rayon made from bamboo. Xocomil refers to the strong winds that sweep across Lake Atitlán every day, around 5 p.m. Creating tall furious waves, it is said it is the Lake pining for his beloved, who lives on top of the volcano. Her father forbade her to bathe in his waters anymore.

Since the threads are hand dyed and woven, please expect slight differences in the color tone and arrangement.

The intricate texture in this handsome kente cloth shawl is inspired by beach pebbles. Designed by a fisherman around 1898, its name means "pebbles of the shore are hard to crack." The tiny blocks of pattern represent the thoughts of that ancestral craftsman. Handcrafted by the Gobah Tengey-Seddoh Family, this extraordinary double weave textile is one of the most difficult patterns to achieve. These expert weavers use traditional looms and a cotton blend.

Each strip requires considerable effort, and the looms are worked with both hands and feet. Strips are generally three to four inches wide and seven to ten feet long, and the length of time it takes to complete one strip varies by the complexity of the chosen pattern. The simplest use mostly vertical, or warp patterns, and an experienced weaver can make several of those in one day. But patterns with nearly all weft (horizontal thread) patterns, where the warp design is hardly visible, can take up to four days to complete an individual strip. Each color has its own meanings in Asante culture. Green is fertility and new harvest, gold is royalty, black is strength, aging, and spirituality, while white is purity. The patterns themselves are carefully chosen symbols, which a master weaver develops and names, often to honor people, historical events, or proverbs.
