The story behind
According to archaeological data, people started using wool around 1500 years BC. In this period, humanity has been able to tame sheep and goats, using wool for clothing manufacture. Especially great popularity this material has got in Ancient Rome.
In the 13th century, the sale and production of wool became the guarantee of the financial stability of many countries. First it was Italy, and then England. The first wool factory was in the English city of Winchester. The production process of wool was kept in the strictest secrecy.
In the second half of the twentieth century, interest in the woolen fabric was gradually diminished. But after the appearance of the washing-resistant wool fabric, with a quick drying and lack of ironing, its popularity began to grow with renewed vigor. The most popular is fabric with the inclusion of synthetic fibers.
Today, the world's wool producers include such countries as Argentina, China, Australia, South Africa, etc.
