Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

Yes, that's correct! "Weave" and "fabric" are words that go well together. The speaker does not mean them literally and has used them as a poetic metaphor to express the combination of different elements to create a new, innovative idea. Ex: The principles of multiculturalism are woven into the fabric of Canadian society. Ex: Colorful designs are woven into the fabric of the blanket.
