Indigenous textiles constitute one of the most
important basic needs of man apart from food an shelter. This study aimed at
finding out the indigenous knowledge of Akwete fabric production in Abia State

sampling method. Validated pilot, tested, structured questionnaires were
administered to the firms. One hundred completed questionnaires were returned.
Frequencies, simple percentages and mean were used in analyzing the data.
Result revealed that. one of the predominate factors that affects the
production of Akwete fabric was that people show preference for the imported
fabrics since they are lighter in weight than Akwete fabrics result also showed
that insufficient man power was one of the problems encountered in the
