In the early middle ages weaving was a home craft practiced by peasants in the villages. Later in the middle ages as towns and cities grew in size and number weaving became a full time profession. This was in part due to development of more complex looms that a typical peasant would not have in their possession. These weavers organized into guilds like other trades. They lived in towns and cities. They rented a shop which in most cases had living quarters above or behind it. They probably sold their product to merchants rather than directly to the public, as cloth from the loom must go through a finishing process known as fulling and then to a dyer, both separate professions, before being ready for sale to the public.

In the early middle ages weaving was a home craft rather than a full time profession. In the second half of the middle ages, due to the growth of urban centers and the development of more complex loom technology, weaving became a full time profession. In this period weavers would have lived in in a town or a city and rented living and working quarters in a larger building. As an alternative they may have inhabited a small simple house. Weavers did not sell their product to the general public, as their cloth needed further processing by a fuller and then a dyer to be ready for final use. Merchants would have facilitated the trade of supplies and product between these craftsmen and then sold the final product.
