2000 years ago, the Romans created every article of clothing by hand. This was hard work and was time-consuming, but at the end of the day they had exactly the clothing they wanted. Talk about clothes made to fit! We won’t start with an entire outfit, but rather with bands that you can use as a belt or carry strap just like the Romans did. Using a special weaving comb and yarn in the colours that you want, you can weave like the Romans step by step.
