They welcomed it and thought it would make their lives easier.
All weavers worked at looms, weaving fabric. Silk was a special case for several reasons. For one thing, the thread was finer; it was also costlier and had to be imported.
The best antonym would probably be something like "Luddite" - the anti-industrial movement of the textile workers of 19th century England who opposed the introduction of mechanized looms and the consequent loss of jobs for skilled weavers who used hand looms. It has come to represent any opposition to mechanization and industrialization that seeks to maintain the old way of doing things (usually with outdated technology or methods).
The Luddites were in favor of producing cloth on primitive hand operated looms. Such looms were often in private homes where the weavers worked incredibly long hours to produce not very much cloth. The Luddies were also in favor of NOT letting other people decide how to run their own lives. Like union thugs today they were arrogant enough to insist that their way of doing things was the only correct way and that everone else should conform to their twisted view of right and wrong. Or one could say: Before factories, cloth was produced by self-employed weavers, working from home. Wives and daughters would spin the yarn, and the men would weave it. When factories started up, the quantity of cloth produced by powered looms put them out of business at a stroke. Many power looms were destroyed by many people, but an actual Mr Ludd went about the country making speeches and rabble-rousing. I think his name was James Ludd, but I'm not sure. 'Luddites' was a handy label for all the people put out of business by the new technology, and furious about it. These people ended up working for starvation wages at the factories, in the end. Plus ca change, eh? in fact i believe that it as general ludd...and that the luddites often called the operation of destroying new machines "General Ludd" the luddites were definatley for the domestic system your actually wrong his name was NED, NOT JAMES thanks, I actually think your clever WARNING THIS IS BIAS
Power looms because they required large amounts of cloth to function
Joseph-Marie Jacquard (1752-1834) was a French inventor who developed a system of punched cards used to program the operation of mechanical equipment. First used for the operation of mechanical looms in the textile industry, the punched cards became the prototype for the first mechanical computers.
no like loom bands are just out of fashion now when they first came out they were like a craze but after about a few months no one plays or wears rainbow looms any more... it's like fashion, its gets out of style like SO quick

Spinners and weavers have experienced a shift from manual labor to automation, with the introduction of machinery like spinning jennies and power looms. This has increased the efficiency and output of the textile industry, but also led to job displacement and changes in traditional craft techniques.
Three types of looms were used by Incan weavers. The most unusual was the backstrap loom. They tied one end of the loom to a tree and the other end was a belt that went around the weavers back. They also used a horizontal loom stretched about a foot off the ground and a vertical loom attached to a wall.
Mining and weaving were among the first- steam-powered pumps were developed to keep mineshafts from flooding, and mechanical looms powered first by water-wheels and then by steam replaced hand-looms.
December Looms was created in 2007.

Yes but it is very rare to find someone still using it.
They used looms to weave cloth for their clothes.
