This week on the blog! At long last, the heart of the pre-modern textile production process: spinning and weaving: https://acoup.blog/2021/03/19/collections-clothing-how-did-they-make-it-part-iii-spin-me-right-round/ … Spinning in particular represented c. 85% of all of the labor-time in making clothing and was probably the most common ancient work task.
I have to admit, given such an important topic, this post (despite its length) feels insufficient. There's a lot I couldn't fit in here (I think there will be at least one 'addendum' post covering more complex weaving patterns and tablet weaving)...
...but the real central idea here is not so much the processes and techniques, but the labor intensity of textile production and what that meant for the lives of household spinners/weavers - which must have been most women in the pre-modern world. Check it out!
