In this last (as of recording) set of posts in his How Did They Make It series, Bret covers the production of clothing textiles, specifically linen and wool. How did these materials make their way from the stalks of plants and the bodies of sheep into the colorful threads that made up the fancy and not-so-fancy clothing people have worn for millenia? To start answering that question, Bret begins by introducing the basics of where flax and wool come from and how they are produced for textile purposes.
