One question on everyone's mind before we all leave the house in the morning: What should I wear today?
This is probably a question people have been asking themselves for hundreds of years. Well, who first thought of producing the clothes that are the source of this problem?
Clothes are something that was born from people's need to cover up rather than a person's invention. Anthropologists believe that after the ice age, humans covered themselves with materials such as leather and tried to protect themselves from new climates.

However, in the 6th and 7th centuries BC, it was found that people used linen and wool fabric. During the excavations in Switzerland, it was revealed that the inhabitants of the lake in that region used such clothes. After these excavations, remnants of yarn were found in India in 400 AD.

As you can see, textile has taken its place in history in many ways. Humans are the only creatures who feel the need for clothing, which has led people to discover textiles. No matter how much the story of textile is in something made of leather, its path has been paved in the following periods, so textile holds the title of being one of the oldest industries in human history.
