Someone once asked me how I pick "Quality Ankara Fabric". That's a Tough one! .
- Ankara fabric with high quality resist getting scratched or damaged from accidental abrasive movements. You can test it by lightly scratching the fabric with your nail. Please don't scratch too hard else you pull out a thread. You do not want to sew a low quality Ankara fabric and disaster sets in when you wear it. A friend of mine thought my Ankara was too expensive and decided to purchase Ankara in the market for her final year Ankara day. She went to the market and I tell you, if you have no knowledge of Ankara fabric, you will get confused with the colours from all different patterns. In conclusion, she purchased a very low quality Ankara fabric for a high price and after sewing it, the Ankara fabrics outrightly tore as people moved in broad day-light. Such a shame!, the Ankara looked very dirty and could not go under the iron without getting burnt. When I asked why she bought it, she said in pidgin: “The person say na China material and na big wrapper.” Please don't fall a victim.
- Another attribute of a high quality Ankara is its ability to absorb water and dry equally fast. In the days of old, people test Ankara quality by placing the fabric on their tongue! Crazy right? But that technique is harmful to your health. For a test, sprinkle little amount of water on your Ankara fabric to check its quality!
- Give the Ankara fabric a pat. Yes! Ankara material is smooth and soft, can be easily crumpled and quickly restores its shape.
You also need to care for your Ankara Fabrics. You can't go through all those techniques and destroy the fabric yourself. Ankara fabrics are washed with mild detergent or bar soap, separately from all other fabrics. Please don't be like my neighbour who washes all her fabrics together. Handwash your Ankara fabric, that is the best way to get them clean.
