Cotton Weaver
An important fabric in the struggle against the desert's relentless heat.Cotton is the ideal crop for countries with dry, hot summers - making it a common crop in the Middle East. Once picked, it goes through a process of separating the fibres from the plant matter that isn't needed, such as leaves and stems. Once this has been done it can be woven into cloth fabric with a myriad practical uses. In an uncertain world, cotton and textiles were highly tradable goods that were sure to turn a profit, as woven fabric has been used to clothe people since perhaps as far back as the Palaeolithic Era. Textile production by machine can only be dated to the 5th century BC, but by late antiquity the technology involved was known to all. The vertical loom - the primary method of creating textiles - was operated by three people, two 'shedding' the fabric (the process of dividing the thread so the shuttle can be passed through) and another to literally run the shuttle through to create the weave - known as 'picking'.
