1. Flax seems to be the oldest of textile fibres. We know linen cloth to have been discovered in the late dwellings of the unknown inhabitants of Europe, where no traces of wool can be found. It is certainly the most lasting of fibers for considerable quantities of it are actually preserved for us in Egyptian tombs, some of which are acknowledged to be fifty centuries old.

2. All things considered, we may suppose linen to be the oldest textile fibre. At any rate, flax is known to have been cultivated in Egypt 5000 years ago, and for centuries it was the only textile fibre in the land.

3. The cultivation of the flax and spinning and weaving of the linen were illustrated on the walls of Egyptian palaces, temples and tombs. The Egyptians are known to have been dressed almost entirely in linen. For many hundreds of years Egypt was the greatest linen producing country in the world.

4. In later years the use of linen spread to Greece, and to Rome, where it is supposed to have been used not only for women s clothing and handkerchiefs, but also for ship sails, though not for outer garments. The Romans thought linen to be a great luxury.

Sheep's wool has long been used as a textile fibre and of course, the skins from these animals were used for clothing for a still longer time. Sheep have been raised in practically every country, and the wool fibre is easy to work into textile products.

2. The ancient Romans were skillful in spinning and weaving wool, and it is from them that the people of North­ern Europe learned the art. The art of wool weaving is known to come to the British Isles from the Romans. In the fourth century of our era Roman soldiers in Great Britain started a wool-weaving factory at the British town of Winchester to supply themselves with clothing.

3. It is from this factory that the native population of Great Britain learned the full value of wool, and began to spin and weave it for themselves.

4. Mediaeval Britain was already famous for wool. At first, it was a large exporter of raw wool and, later, it became an exporter of woolen textiles.

5. It is believed that Great Britain owed its wealth to wool which was manufactured into cloth at home and was not allowed to be exported to other countries as raw material. Eyen now the Lord Chancellor of England has his seat in Parliament on the wool sack, and this shows the importance of wool in the history of England.
