Weaving is one of the oldest crafts in the Maltese Archipelago. For many centuries weaving remained an important industry in these Islands. Every family had its loom and every member of the family gave his share of work in this craft, men planted and harvested cotton, children helped in washing the local sheep’s wool and women worked on the looms. The Maltese national costume is entirely made from handwoven material. Presently very few weavers still operate and produce unique pieces of woven crafts.
