Even though fabric manufacturing techniques are as old as human civilization, they took different forms with different raw materials as civilization grew. In prehistoric days, humans made clothing using leaves. As civilization grew, the raw materials, as well as the techniques, changed. About 5,000 years ago, the material for clothing changed from leaves to cotton and silk. The process of weaving by hand was developed. The weft yarn was inserted using sticks between the top and bottom layers of warp yarn by hand. It was an art rather than a science. Human skill played a major role in producing different quality fabrics.
