Asproploumia (the exceedingly Greek motif with meanders) is one of the weaves covered in the traditional weaving workshop organised at the studio a few times a year.

A parliamentary committee set up to explore the wage gap in 1840 heard from a handloom weaver from Stockport:

Joseph Sherwin . . . usually earned 6s 6d a week, and his wife 3s by winding bobbins for two other looms. However, he failed to subtract from his wage, and add to hers, the value of her winding services for his loom. Mrs Sherwin received for winding 3d out of every 1s earned by each of the two weavers who hired her services; each of these weavers, then, earned only 9d for every 1s worth of cloth. Since she could wind for three looms (her husband's plus two others), Mrs Sherwin could earn the same amount as these two weavers (9d = 3 x 3d). Joseph Sherwin admitted 'I must pay three-pence out of every shilling, if I had no wife.'

His true wage, then, was only 4s 10d, and his wife's true wage was 4s 7½d. What by his statement appeared to be a wage ratio of 0.46 (3s / 6s 6d) turns out to be, in truth, almost equal wages. If the wage data that we have overstate male earnings and understate female earnings, then there may be no wage gap to explain.
