I agree completely with Yon. A "commercialized" village weaving (design) could be set up in a region where a number of weavers were each copying the same design, developed by the organizer of the venture. Each weaver could be given a cartoon which would yield a high quality product with great border design finesse and would be exported and dispersed to the Western market.
