The occupations lists I've found work the other way round; Start with
occupational name, and give description, rather than road trade, then
subdivide.

http://www.rmhh.co.uk/occup/index.html has a lists of occupations, but
it'll be a long haul going through them to see whether they pertain to
weaving. Under weaver, there is a link to a document with further
information. This file contains a few weaving trades. Probably not an
exhaustive list, but it's a start.
