How did the ancients weave cloth before the loom appeared?

In ancient times, it was difficult to make clothes without looms, but clothes were necessities and consumables, so people paid a lot of hardships for weaving. Compared with us now, ancient people were not easy.

Before the loom appeared, people used textile tools. At that time, the weaving technology was very simple, that is, twining hemp rope into thread. This is the linen that people first wore.

With the change of dynasties, people's living standards have become higher, and the quality of clothes has gradually improved a lot, especially those who are dignitaries. So this forced the further evolution of textile tools. The evolution of textile tools is also a process. The most primitive textile tool is spinning brick, which is made of stone or ceramics. When spinning with it, people have to use both hands and feet, and it will make a lot of noise, which is very hard for weavers, and the quality of the clothes woven is not very good and the efficiency is very low. Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the spinning wheel was invented. Slowly, in the Song Dynasty, hemp spinning wheels and water spinning wheels appeared. Although the working efficiency of this spinning wheel is still very low, it is much more labor-saving than the original textile tools, and the speed is also improved, and the quality of the clothes woven is much better.

Slowly, people changed from wearing linen to wearing satin. Not only the loom has improved, but also the skills of those weavers have improved. Therefore, we should not only praise the people who invented and transformed these looms, but also remember the people who used these looms to weave clothes. They made us dress in gorgeous and beautiful clothes. These people are pioneers in the textile industry.
