Textiles have been used since prehistoric times and are an invaluable part of life. Today's textiles are designed, created and manufactured on an industrial scale, far removed from that which were found in a cave in the Republic of Georgia dating back to 34,000BC.
In days gone by, the need for warmth and protection meant clothes were the main requirement for producing textiles. Clothes served a specific function, whereas today clothes can be worn not just for protection and warmth but as a statement. You only have to look at the World of Fashion to see how textiles influence designers and their creations.
Textiles are still to this day used to make bags. Scott Inness design Cotton bags featuring flowers and thistles such as Blaeberry, Damson, Thistle and Rhubarb. Ideal as a designer shopper, beach bag or just in case bag.
Textiles can be made from plants such as Hemp, Sisal, Cotton and Flax and from the wool of goats and sheep or fur from rabbits such as Angora.
Synthetic textiles such as Polyester and Acrylic are man-made fibres used mainly for producing clothes.
Now-a-days textiles are used to make everything from bags to carpets to tents, toys, parachutes and even fibreglass.
Methods of producing Textiles
Weaving, Knitting, Crochet and Felting are Traditional methods of producing a textile.
Textiles can also be made from bonded fibres, laced threads to make delicate textiles such as lace, and knotted such as braiding.
