It enables weavers to spin three yarns at the same time. Periodic uprisings relating to asset prices also occurred in other contexts in the century before Luddism. Irregular rises in food prices provoked the Keelmen to riot in the port of Tyne in 1710 [14] and tin miners to steal from granaries at Falmouth in 1727.

It was impossible for a woman to get married without homespun at that time," said Wang. "Mothers began to weave the homespun for their daughters when they were young." The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers which opposed the use of certain types of cost-saving machinery, often by destroying the machines in clandestine raids. They protested against manufacturers who used machines in "a fraudulent and deceitful manner" to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods. [1] [2] Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of " Ned Ludd", a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials. [3]Mention of textiles in folklore is ancient, and its lost mythic lore probably accompanied the early spread of this art.

A woven peplos, laid upon the knees of the goddess's iconic image, was central to festivals honoring both Athena at Athens, and Hera. Huang's cotton gin came around 500 years earlier than Eli Whitney's, which was one of the key inventions of the Industrial Revolution.Scheid, John, and Jesper Svenbro (1996).
