Shema Tera (Merkato Weavers' Row)

Within Merkato's organized chaos, Shema Tera is the section devoted to traditional cloth — bolts of handwoven shemma, gabis, netelas and the yarns and tools of the weaving trade. It's where Shiro Meda's retailers themselves source stock, so prices bottom out here if you can handle the crowds.

☀️ Local tip

Best combined with a guided Merkato walk — sections are unmarked and easy to miss on your own; bargain hard but good-naturedly.
