Our history
An industry older than almost any other
Textiles — felt or spun fibres made into yarn and subsequently netted, looped, knit or woven to make fabrics — appeared in the Middle East during the late stone age. From ancient times to the present day, methods of textile production have continually evolved, and the choices of textiles available have influenced how people carried their possessions, clothed themselves and decorated their surroundings.
Sources available for the study of clothing and textiles include material remains discovered via archaeology, representation of textiles and their manufacture in art, and documents concerning the manufacture, acquisition, use and trade of fabrics, tools and finished garments. Scholarship of textile history, especially its earlier stages, is part of material culture studies.
