They are ancient handicrafts and modern invention. Woven cloth has been dated as far back as 5000 B.C Imagine how elegant those or Stone Age Neolithic, when felt they were people weave to able long finally fibers of grass or straw into a rough cloth. Much later, about the time of the great kings of the pyraEgypt used cotton, mids, wool and silk fibers to weave accompl-lishment- their exotic fabrics, in which their pampered rulers lolled about on their thrones or strutted about in splendor before their subjects. In the 4th century B.C there is evidence of luxurious printed fabrics, gorgeous tapestries and rich Persian rugs. You can almost see the Sul- tan reclining among his silken cushions while wives and concubines of the harem skitter about to please him. By 1130 A.D. gold threads had been woven with silk to make elaborate and costly robes and drapery to partly cover many a slinky siren as she danced before some fat slob dressed in equal elegance. Imagine the painful hardship those early lords and ladies to endure before the had weavers finally learned how to make velvet. After its advent in about 1100 A.D., no self - respecting member of royalty or lordship could be seen without at least a part of their costume being made of velvet, always in gorgeous colors of crimson, purple, gold and blue. Every weaver manufactured and their own dyes, his to fast and it make struggle another makes true thrilling account. During these early times, weavers were in great demand and were sometimes stolen or kidnapped and taken to other countries. Wars were instigated by the proud demands of wealthy folk for the services of skilled weavers. Up about the eighteenth until century all weaving, both plain and elaborate, was done in the homes of the weavers. Some of them became so rich that their homes were more fashionable than the homes of those for whom they wove cloth and some of them became very haughty and condescending indeed. By the time dear old Louie the 14th came along, fluttering his dainty hands and shaking his curly wig, the Italian weavers had boggled the world with some wonderful stuff called lace, and lace took its place along with silk and velvet. All three combined to make some of the most garish and gawdy trappings ever to embellish the human frame. Queen Elizabeth fostered Dutch and Flemish weavers to make flowered silks, damask and brocades. It isnt hard to see them strutting about hither and yon in their table-clogowns, elegant cloaks and coats. In the Islands, an inelegant but durable cloth was made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree. This was taken in strips, soaked in the ocean for days and then beaten with clubs into thin fibers. These were glued together by a paste made from tapioca root, using as many layers as the thickness of the cloth they deAfterward designs sired. were painted on the cloth. In 1962 it was still used for ceremonial affairs and may be in use still. th The Movies E. Hwy.
