The tradition of hand weaving dates back to the ancient world, and it is a representation of various cultures. Unfortunately, not many places in the world maintain the practice of weaving, as well as all the organic and natural processes involved in creating textiles. Synthetic fibers and fabrics now dominate the fashion industry.

Despite the decline of the traditional hand-weaving industry, there are still a few master weavers who are still keeping the tradition alive. In this video, Deborah Livingston-Lowe demonstrates how she hand-crafts a scarf using traditional 19th-century techniques. She is very talented and passionate about her work, and her sharing of her experiences is remarkable. She enjoys the process of hand-weaving, which is similar to meditation. It brings her much joy and peace, and it also has a spiritual connection.

Mass production and digitization have become common in modern life, which allows products to be produced at a fast pace. However, due to the repetitive nature of the tasks and machinery functions, weavers have less bond with the job than the hand- weaving technique. 

In the past, hand- weaving individuals were able to produce goods using traditional methods. These individuals usually prepare their raw materials and work on the product at various stages. For many years, skilled individuals have been learning the various aspects of the craft. They then spend their time designing and creating the tools needed to perform their duties. These hand- weaving individuals have a strong understanding of their profession and the products they produce.
