To support boycotts against British goods

Answer 2

Answer:

To avoid British imported goods in the colonies.

Explanation:

Colonial women did sewing and weaving as one of their tasks. Women did weaving, spinning, dyeing, and making the thread, to create garments. The colonists harvested the flax plant to make cloth which was stronger than the linen. The colonist did not want to be dependent on the British imported goods forever.
