Weaving technology has been used since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the findings of fabrics originating from 5000 BC in Egypt.
In ancient times, textiles are considered as very valuable items and are often used as a medium of exchange in trade.
In the 18th century, James Hargreaves created a weaving machine that could produce a set of yarn at once, which accelerated the textile production process.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the Jacquard weaving machine was found, which used cards to control weaving patterns, allowing more complicated and colorful fabrics.
In 1856, William Perkin discovered the first synthetic dyes, which opened the way for cheaper and easier colored textile production.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Tricot and Raschel machines were discovered, which allowed faster and more efficient knitted fabric production.
During World War II, textile production increased dramatically due to the need for military uniforms and medical materials.
In the 1950s, the first electrical sewing machine was discovered, which changed the way of making clothes to be faster and easier.
In the 1960s, synthetic materials including polyester and nylon became popular because of lower prices and better durability than natural ingredients such as cotton and wool.
In the 2010s, sophisticated textile technology such as 3D printing and intelligent fiber that can monitor health and physical activity have been developed.
