Clothing history

When early people realized they needed more than their own hair and skin to protect them from the weather, they looked around to see what was available People lived in a cold climate, saw animals with skins that kept them warm They hunted these animals for food and used the fur to cover their body.

Once they started to hunt they used the skin of animals as clothes This skin when continuously used becomes harder and made difficult for them to hunt

For this purpose he started to treat the skin to preserve its softness Later the bones of animals were used as needle and nerves were used as thread

to stitch the hides

Clothing history

Ancient people used grasses , reeds , leaves

and stems to cover their body He also

learned to spin the fiber, convert it into yarn

and these yarns are interlaced to form a

cloth.

Flax and wool were the first of the fiber to

be used because they were easier to twist

into yarn than cotton They also used the

hair of animals as bed, in due course, these

hair tangled with each other and formed as

a fabric This method is only followed while

making felt cloth
