" Handwoven cloth is sometimes regarded as having a spiritual potential not found in manufactured fabric."

Today the Mossi people, weaving talents are in the forefront of fabric design. Mossi hand-spun, cotton, natural indigo dyed and other natural pigmented cloth are in heavy demand worldwide. Though fashionably new to us Mossi cloth weaving is an ancient Mossi tradition in Burkina Faso. Several of the original clans retell stories of weavers in their myths of origin, and among clans near Guilongou, between Ouagadougou and Kaya, traditions state that the founding ancestor was a weaver who descended to earth on the threads of his wrap carrying a wooden mask!
