People who interlace threads or yarns on a loom to create fabric or cloth.
From Old English 'wefan' meaning 'to weave,' related to the Proto-Germanic 'waban.' The occupation is ancient, dating back to prehistory, and was one of the first specialized trades in civilizations.
Weavers were the first programmers—textile patterns required complex instructions (sometimes knotted into cords) that were so sophisticated they inspired computer programming languages, especially the punch-card system.
