weaver
Fabric-making artisan
A weaver is someone who interlaces threads to make fabric, working at a loom or by hand.
The term extends to creatures that construct by similar methods: weaverbirds build elaborate nests from interwoven plant fibers, and weaver ants bind leaves together with silk.
Figuratively, a weaver crafts something from disparate elements: a weaver of tales, a weaver of conspiracies.
