The Textile Revolution

The research project “Textile Revolution” integrates studies on the introduction and spread of the woolly sheep and wool usage from different scientific fields. Wool production is closely connected to the domesticated sheep and specifically to those animals that carry a woolly coat. With the keeping of woolly sheep, not only did the economy of prehistoric communities change, but also the textile technology, meaning both, the tools and the techniques for thread and textile making.

本项名为“纺织革命”的研究项目，融合了来自不同科学领域的关于羊毛羊引入与传播的研究。羊毛的生产与家养绵羊，尤其是携带羊毛皮毛的动物密切相关。羊毛羊的饲养不仅改变了史前社会的经济结构，亦革新了纺织技术，涵盖织造线和纺织品所需的工具与技艺。
