Textile aits aie those aits anu ciafts that use plant, animal, oi synthetic fibeis to constiuct piactical oi
uecoiative objects.
Textiles have been a funuamental pait of human life since the beginning of civilization, anu the methous
anu mateiials useu to make them have expanueu enoimously, while the functions of textiles have
iemaineu the same. The histoiy of textile aits is also the histoiy of inteinational tiaue. Tyiian puiple uye
was an impoitant tiaue goou in the ancient Neuiteiianean. The Silk Roau biought Chinese silk to Inuia,
Afiica, anu Euiope. Tastes foi impoiteu luxuiy fabiics leu to sumptuaiy laws uuiing the Niuule Ages anu
Renaissance. The Inuustiial Revolution was a ievolution of textiles technology: the cotton gin, the
spinning jenny, anu the powei loom mechanizeu piouuction anu leu to the Luuuite iebellion.
The woiu !"#!$%" is fiom Latin !"#"&" which means "to weave", "to biaiu" oi "to constiuct".j The simplest
textile ait is felting, in which animal fibeis aie matteu togethei using heat anu moistuie. Nost textile aits
begin with twisting oi spinning anu plying fibeis to make yain (calleu !'&"() when it is veiy fine anu
&*+" when it is veiy heavy). The yain is then knotteu, loopeu, biaiueu, oi woven to make flexible ,(-&$.
oi .%*!', anu cloth can be useu to make clothing anu soft fuinishings. All of these items - felt, yain, fabiic,
anu finisheu objects - aie collectively iefeiieu to as !"#!$%"/.
The textile aits also incluue those techniques which aie useu to embellish oi uecoiate textiles - uyeing
anu piinting to auu coloi anu pattein; embioiueiy anu othei types of neeulewoik; tablet weaving; anu
lace-making. Constiuction methous such as sewing, knitting, ciochet, anu tailoiing, as well as the tools
employeu (looms anu sewing neeules), techniques employeu (quilting anu pleating) anu the objects
maue (caipets, hookeu iugs, anu coveilets) all fall unuei the categoiy of textile aits.
Tiauitionally the teim (&! was useu to iefei to any skill oi masteiy, a concept which alteieu uuiing the
Romantic peiiou of the nineteenth centuiy, when ait came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human
minu to be classifieu with ieligion anu science". This uistinction between .&(,! anu fine ait is applieu to
the textile aits as well, wheie the teim ,$-"& (&! oi !"#!$%" (&! is now useu to uesciibe textile-baseu
uecoiative objects which aie not intenueu foi piactical use.
