Timeline of textile and technology The history of clothing and
textiles attempts an objective survey of clothing and textiles
throughout human history, identifying materials, tools,
techniques, and influences, and the cultural significance of
these items to the people who used them. Textiles, defined as
felt or spun fibers made into yarn and subsequently netted,
looped, knit or woven to make fabrics, appeared in the Middle
East during the late stone age.[1] 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.[2] Source: wikipedia  Added:Apr
