Reviews of Colonial Williamsburg Weaver
"Enjoyed the place"
"The weavers were very friendly and were operating the looms and spindles while we were there. It is a wonderful step back in time."
"So I’m sorry to say that I do not remember the name of the woman who was working the day that I went but it she really explained the whole art of weaving in a way that I had never heard. A lot of wheat she said made a lot of to me."
"The guy was super cute, anyone know his name or Instagram?"
"We enjoyed learning about material and weaving, clothing construction and many historical aspects of how they dealt with clothing back in that era. The actors and craftsman are very knowledgeable and informative. Very interesting and nicely done."
