it takes two
”Threads weave to make fabric in the first place, and then to decorate (embroidery) or to repair (patching), or attach two pieces in making a garment requires thread.
the social impact of requiring two people to work the loom is an interesting analogy on life itself, the challenge of living and working together. it mirrors the sport of tennis where you can’t play on your own, which also works well with the idea of trade where there has to be more than one party for that to happen . . .
the comment of ‘no Wimbledon without Stroud’ seems to emphasise the fact we can’t seem to get away from the concept of 2 - 2 parties to trade, at least 2 players for tennis, 2 weavers of the original loom, 2 parts that make the tennis ball
