Anotations

Scope note:

Trade- or craftspeople who created cloth by weaving threads together. Wool would be gathered from sheep, cleaned, carded, dyed, and then spun into thread. Weavers would then use a loom to weave the threads together to form fabrics. This generally refers to a trade active from the Middle Ages through the Industrial Revolution when the process was taken up by machine looms.
