What was the weaver to the church in medieval times?
A weaver was a craftsman who used a loom to weave thread into cloth. In the early middle ages weaving was more commonly a home craft, but during the later part of the middle ages weaving became a regular profession organized into guilds. Textile production was a major industry in medieval Europe. It was a complex, multi-stage process that involved many different crafts. Merchants served as the organizers and intermediaries of the process, moving goods from craftsman to craftsman. Raw wool or flax was purchased from farmers, and distributed to workers to spin into thread. The thread would then go to a dyer to be colored, and from there to a weaver. The weavers would weave the thread into cloth, and the cloth would then go to a craftsman called a fuller for a cleaning and finishing process. The merchants would then buy the finished cloth back from the fullers, and sell the finished goods to the public.
