There are four categories of weaving for strip cloth: Ahwepan (plain weave), Topreko (single-pick), Faprenu (double pick) and Asasia (six heddle weave). The most common of these is topreko which creates the popular kente variation by using two heddles. The asasia weave is the most complex and also the rarest, creating a necessity for more heddles, a very complex and time consuming operation.
