| All these cloths are genuine Nigerian textiles hand-woven by
women on the upright single heddle loom and collected in Nigeria.
Yoruba cloths part 2 - thick indigo dyed kijiipa wrapper cloths woven
with hand-spun cotton thread. The most widespread type of kijiipa,
woven until the 1950s by women in virtually all Yoruba areas, was plain
blue and white striped cloth. A few, much rarer pieces, mainly in the
north east of the Yoruba area, incorporate supplementary weft float
patterns. We have numerous plain indigo blue striped pieces at
our shops and see also our indigo gallery. Unless otherwise
indicated they are all old cloths that have been worn and carefully
treasured by the man or woman that first commissioned them from the
weavers. Full details of size and condition for each cloth,
together with price and ordering information, can be found with a
larger picture by clicking on the thumbnail images. Please be patient
as the images may take a minute to download. As with all our cloths we
guarantee a full refund if you are not satisfied with any order.
