The role of weaving as support for dissenting movements in pre-modern Europe is itself fascinating!

Is that because of the itinerent nature of the weaver's trade -- lots of songs about it!
The Luddites rebelled against the mechanization of the of the textile trade in England between 1811 and 1816. Kirkpatrick Sale wrote a wonderful book about this: Revolt Against the Future, I believe the title is.
[Not sure what this has to do with witchcraft, but I can never resist an opportunity to resurrect the Luddites...]
Thanks, D'Artagnan, I forgot about the Luddites and weaving. I generally think about Silas Marner when I think of weaving and the song, which I believe is called either Four-Hand Weaver or Four-Loom Weaver sung so dramatically by Maddie Prior.
In Germany, it was Gerhard Hauptmann (Nobel Prize for Literature in 1912), whose "The Weavers" (1893) [a humanist drama of the Silesian rebellion against the mechanisms of the Industrial Revolution in 1844] is one of his best works and still played tofay.
