The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 educational institution and the largest U.S. history museum in the world.
This is a really interesting video! I appreciate placing the craft of weaving into its greater political context. Great job!
I would live to have these skills! I did take a weaving class near me.
Hmmmmmmmm. So if history repeats, could this sound like anything going on now? Nah, can't think of anything at all. LOL!
Great video, however the correct term is ‘Great Britain’ or ‘the United Kingdom’ and not ‘England’; plenty of cloth was made in Scotland too and you’re talking about after 1707 :-) p.s. Lovely tartan there too :-)
Wouldn't people on the " frontier " have made their own clothes ? As i think that the clothes would have been expensive . Thanks for a wonderful video ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
People knew that in the same amount of time it took to make fabric, they could earn enough from the land to buy that fabric several times over. As people traveled further afield, they carried the tools they needed, and the textiles too.
