Textiles are one of the original materials made by humans. Impressions of woven fragments
have been found in the earliest settlements excavated in
Turkey, Catal Huyuk, dated c. 7500 B.C.E.
Throughout history textiles have driven
global commerce, artistic innovation, technological developments,
and world economic cycles.
