Volume 1, Issue 40, December 28, 2009: I'm In Love All Over Again

I found a new love and it's Ankara.

Ankara, formerly reffered to as Dutch Wax, is a plain weave fabric that can be found in West African nations such as Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Ghana, and Sengeal. Ankara is 100% cotton, strong, hydrophillic, and it absorbs moisture quickly and dries fast. Ankara is made out of a screen or wax printing process which gives it a smooth hand and luster. It can be handwashed or machine-washed.





























 





I LOVE IT!!! I'm trying to get my hands on some of that Ankara to make me some nice dresses for the spring and summer.

Where would you find this? I would love to make myself some outfits for summer or make something to wear for the international banquet fashion show.
