Figuring out which type of weave works best for a specific type of clothing can prevent having an end product that easily becomes frayed. History of weaving Weaving of clothes started back in the Stone Age. Although those weaves in the early years of the world did not look or feel as sophisticated as the ones that are weaved today, the principles are the same and were only developed through the next years. Once these are accomplished, the cotton is now ready for the spinning process which will transform it into thread. When cotton is spun, the shorter fibers are drawn out from the huge mass of cotton and then twists them all together into a very long and continuous thread. Origin of spinning wheels Most of the spinning wheels used in India are the ones the Natives called charka. Unfortunately, the case soon fell apart when it was found out that James Hargreaves has sold a few before. Its discovery A very common story about how this device was particularly invented is that James Hargreaves daughter, named Jenny, was knocked over to her feet by one of her father s very own inventions. Turn the drop spindle a number of times in the arrow direction, then let the yarn wrap around the shaft. Take the starter yarn through the hook or notch at the drop spindle top. A top whorl drop spindle can hang from the starter yarn. A spindle, will do similarly in the end, although you need to rest it on a table to prevent falls. The early human originally used weaving to help seek for basic needs like clothing, food and shelter. The early people may have discovered the technique and enhanced it by observing how birds make nests, how spiders make webs and how beavers make dams. All these natural activities involved the interlacing of different materials like vines or twigs. These strings had various sizes and were laced and knotted together to create several functional items, like home covering and clothes. A lot of weavers today still use the technique of finger weaving, wherein threads are knotted and laced together using only the hands. During the Neolithic Age, the first weaving looms were created and developed.
