Weaving is one of the oldest methods of fabric production and was an important part of life in Slovakian villages, where people would weave mainly in the winter months when not working in the fields. Weaving remains one of the most common crafts in Slovakia, with certain regions like Spiš, Saris, Orava, Gemer and Liptov having the highest concentrations of weavers and their own distinctive weaving motifs. The mechanical weaving loom was invented in 1785 based on the hand loom technique that has been used for over 4,000 years, automating the weaving process.
