Weaving

{ }

- I ran

c. 6,500 BC

The first woven cloth we know about comes from a cave at Nahal Hemer in Judea. While this amazing linen cloth is the oldest found to date, it is much too finely woven and sophistica­ted to represent our first attempt at weaving. The first weaving is likely to have been attempted as early as 10,000 BC.
