Weaving was exclusively a male profession, and even in this country, weaving was illegal. Fabric had to be imported (and taxed!). Weaving was illegal. However, over the mountains, men built spinning wheels and built looms and raised sheep and flax.

The basic principal must always have been the same. Who was the brilliant one who devised the actual type of loom that you are showing us in your post? I have learned that when people wove back in Scotland and England as a cottage industry, the loom would take up most of their main room. Looms were dismantled and brought over to North America when they immigrated.
