Sabahar
Mekanisa / Alem Bank$$⏱ 1-2 hours
A fair-trade textile company raising its own Ethiopian silk and handweaving it with local cotton into scarves, throws and table linens. Visit the garden campus for a behind-the-scenes tour — from silkworms and hand-spinning to the clatter of the weaving sheds — then buy straight from the source at the on-site shop.
☀️ Local tip
Open Mon-Sat; call ahead to join a workshop tour, and budget for the scarves — you won't leave with just one.
