@goatwildernesscollective The thing about weaving by hand is that no one in the modern mechanized-fabric world would pay what I would charge for my time, not to mention time *and* materials, even if I were only to charge a living wage. Even this simple project will take about 8 hours labor and about $50 in materials.
After weaving, I finally understand why clothing in pre-Industrial times were considered so valuable. Worn is a good recent book that talks about this history.
