In colonial times, weaving was a crucial economic activity that provided local communities with self-sufficiency and reduced reliance on imported textiles. It created jobs and fostered craft skills, enabling artisans to produce clothing and household goods, which could be sold in local markets or traded. Additionally, weaving contributed to the development of a colonial textile industry, promoting economic growth and stimulating commerce within and between colonies. This local production also helped to establish a sense of identity and cultural pride among colonists.
