The one bizarre thing to me about textiles is that warp-weighted weaving is at least 6500 years old, but our oldest knitted artifacts are only ~1000 years old, and crochet 200 years old. Even though you need less equipment to knit (two sticks) or crochet (one hook) compared to warp-weighted weaving (frame, loom weights, batting, heddles). Why the big gaps between these inventions? And why did each one appear and spread when it did?
#well Scandinavia had needlebinding as a kind of proto-crochet for ages before knitting became more common#i bet other cultures had similar ways to produce cloth#but weaving is fastest way to make large fabrics in big quantities so it makes sense it was invented everywhere so early 🤔#not a historian just have theories

House of the wounded bear, Pompeii.
Photo: Silvia Vacca
The name of the house is due to the mosaic on the entrance floor that depicts a bear wounded by a spear.

Something very satisfying in weaving meters of the same fabric and seeing it wrapping around the cloth beam.
