Traditional Weaving
History
The development of spinning and weaving began in ancient Egypt around 3400 before Christ (B.C). The tool originally used for weaving was the loom. From 2600 B.C. onwards, silk was spun and woven into silk in China. Later in Roman times, the European population was clothed in wool and linen.
Textile home industry
The textile was at first a product of the home industry. People produced textiles to meet their own needs. Once production exceeded their own needs, the textiles were traded for other goods.
