Makenge are tall bushes that grow throughout the Mongu region of Rwanda, anywhere near water. They send up long, shallow roots that weavers can easily dig up from sandy soil. They cut off the last two thirds of the root, and in each place they cut, the bush regenerates two new ones.

Namely: each piece is woven by hand.
