A netela (Amharic: ነጠላ) is a handmade scarf-like two-layered cloth made of cotton worn by Ethiopian and Eritrean women. The netela is a worn garment in both countries. The male equivalent is known as the kuta.[1]
It has become an important garment to the Ethiopian diaspora due to the military coup in 1973.[2]
