loom at Paisley museum
Hand loom weaving was a traditional industry in Renfrewshire throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. At Paisley museum research is carried out on traditional textile design and technology in the Weaving Gallery. Visitors can see several of the various stages of the weaving process, and the loom working. The weaver can answer queries about the history of handloom weaving in the county and about textiles in general.

Recently acquired weaving machinery is currently being installed and will be working by 2006, creating a more complete traditional handweaving workshop.
