Well this all depends on what group of Weavers you're talking about?? There seems to be a number of groups called 'The Weavers' One of the most popular being the influential American Folk Music quartet of the late 1940s and early 1950s, consisting of Pete Seeger, Lee Hayes, Fred Hellerman, and Ronnie Gilbert. There's also the guild of Weavers who based in the City of London and help to preserve and improve craftmanship. But more interestingly is a group that seem connected to the Cathars religious sect. These chaps were persecuted by the Roman Catholic church as heretics and the Weavers seem to have been part of this group. 14 July, 2009
There was no weavers sect associated with the medieval Cathars. This is an invention of David McCandless who was hired to write, design and virally promote a film released by Universal Studios. See http://www.davidmccandless.com/2008/07/09/wanted-viral/
The medieval Cathar movement did not create secret codes or the like embedded in weavings, paintings or other objects. There was never a prophecy concerning the year 2012 or any specific year.
Good Christians today, as in the past, are simple living, plain speaking pacifists.
The term "Cathars" derives from the Greek word Katheroi and means "Pure Ones". They were a gnostic Christian sect that arose in the 11th century, an offshoot of a small surviving European gnostic community that emigrated to the Albigensian region in the south of France.The medieval Cathar movement flourished in the 12th century A.D. throughout Europe until its virtual extermination at the hands of the Inquisition in 1245.
There are an ever increasing number of historians and other academics engaged in serious Cathar studies. Interestingly, to date, the deeper they have dug, the more they have vindicated Cathar claims to represent a survival of the earliest Christian Church.

Power looms revolutionized the textile industry by significantly increasing production speed and efficiency, which led to a dramatic reduction in the cost of fabric. This innovation not only made textiles more accessible to the general public but also transformed labor dynamics, as many skilled weavers lost their jobs due to the mechanization of weaving. Additionally, the rise of power looms contributed to urbanization, as people moved to cities for factory work, fundamentally altering social structures and lifestyles during the Industrial Revolution. Overall, power looms played a critical role in shaping modern economies and societies.
What were 3 types of shops in an Elizabethan town?
In fact shops were not as we see today. Many shops were in fact stalls, mostly on wheels with a picture of what the owner was selling. They did this because the majority could not read so pictures of their wares really was the first advertising. Many poor people sat or stood on the sides of roads selling from baskets and wooden boxes. Fruit and vegetables, meats and bread where the main grocery product line. Note that when we say fruit it was very basic, apples and some Cherry types were the seasonal lines - potatoes were just introduced but were not sold in any amount as they were to be brought in from "the new world". Weavers sold some clothing, blankets and tapestries but it was the very rich who bought these. There were cobblers who used the hides of animals to make soft shoes - these were very important retailers as leather was expensive although reasonable abundant
