In 1831, the production of silk goods in Lyon was still organised in a manner similar to that of the pre-industrial era:
*At the top of the socio-economic pyramid was the ''grande fabrique'' (literally ''great manufacture''), a group of about 1,400 [[banker]]s and [[Merchant|trader]]s named ''fabricants'' (''manufacturers'') or ''soyeux'' (''silkers''), who controlled and financed the manufacture and commercialisation of the goods.<ref name="Larousse">{{
*The manufacturers contracted about 8,000 chief weaving craftsmen, the '''[[canuts]]''', who were paid either for a specific order or per piece. The Canuts owned their own [[loom]]s, generally between 2 and 6, depending on the size of the workshop.<ref name="Larousse"/>
*The Canuts employed about 30,000 apprentices, who were paid by the day, but generally lived with the canut, who lodged and fed them, and with whom they shared a similar standard of living.<ref name="Larousse"/>
