    HISTORY OF TEXTILE

    Before 3000 BC the cotton cloth was produced in India. The place where the production
    was made was Indus Valley. It is probably true that spinning and weaving of cotton cloth
    originated in India although Egypt also claimed to be the first to produce cloth from
    cotton as well as from flax. But depending on the opinion of the historian we may say
    that cotton was first being manufactured into cloth in India and Egypt.
    Through out the succeeding centuries use of cotton was increasing for different textile
    purposes, the knowledge of cotton goods spreaded by armies, explorers and traders. The
    first trading of cotton in Britain was at the end of the 15th Century.
    In the Second half of the 16th Century, Flemish weavers started settling in England,
    particularly in Lancashire and continued manufacturing their arts and crafts. Although
    woolen and worsted cloths would be produced, it is thought that this was the base for the
    growth for both wool and cotton. At this time Most of the cotton goods were used in
    Britain and also during 17th century cotton goods were obtained from India. The
    production of cotton good in Lancashire grew very slowly in the 17 th century. During the
    first part of the 18th century various laws were passed for prohibiting the cultivation of
    cotton.
    The method of producing spun yarn for the loom has changed a little up to the 18 th
    Century. In 1555 a German Johann Jurgen invented the Saxon wheel. The idea came from
    the sketch of world famous artist Leonardo da Vinchi. This wheel was different from the
    ordinary spinning wheel. By using a cranked arm on a larger wheel and by incorporating
    a foot treadle the spindle could be revolved.
    From about the middle to the end of the 18 th century many important inventions were
    introduced. This time may be regarded as the time of invention in the cotton industry. A
    number of inventions of this period are shown below:
