A Question for Weavers. About Weaving!
So, I'm trying to gain some insight into the economics of weaving in the pre-industrial age. It seems to me that at approximately 50 threads to an inch and 27 inches wide, warping a loom would be an extremely time consuming task.
How much time would an experienced weaver typically spend warping a loom for a run of tartan cloth?
How much time to weave one yard when the actual weaving began?
Thanks!
