Like human civilization, the story of Raw Wool Wholesale begins in Asia Minor during the Stone Age about 10,000 years ago. Primitive man living in the Mesopotamian Plain used sheep for three basic human needs: food, clothing and shelter. Later on man learned to spin and weave. As primitive as they must have been, Raw Wool Wholesaleens became part of the riches of Babylon.Despite the fact that England tried to discourage a Raw Wool Wholesale industry in North America, a few smuggled sheep had multiplied to about 100,000 by 1665.Massachusetts even passed a law requiring young people to spin and weave. Traditions and folklore grew with the industry.

The warmth of Raw Wool Wholesale clothing and the mobility of sheep allowed mankind to spread civilization far beyond the warm climate of Mesopotamia. Between 3000 and 1000 BC the Persians, Greeks and Romans distributed sheep and Raw Wool Wholesale throughout Europe as they continued to improve breeds. The Romans took sheep everywhere as they built their Empire in what is now Spain, North Africa, and on the British Isles. They established a Raw Wool Wholesale plant in what is now Winchester, England as early as 50 AD. The Saracens, nomadic people of the Syrian-Arabian deserts, conquered Spain in the eighth century and established a widespread Raw Wool Wholesale export trade with
North Africa, Greece, Egypt and Constantinople.

During the twelfth century, weaving in Florence, Genoa and Venice was stimulated by the Norman conquest of Greece. The conquerors sent about a hundred Greek weavers to Palermo as slaves, and their extraordinary work was copied at once by Italian weavers. Back in Spain a thriving Raw Wool Wholesale trade helped finance the voyages of Columbus and the Conquistadores. Guarding its wealth closely, Spain levied the death penalty on anyone exporting sheep until 1786.

imported 386 Merino ewes to cross with sheep on his estate at Rambouillet in Northern France. The resulting Rambouillet breed is highly desirable today because of its fine and long-staple Raw Wool Wholesale.Just like Spain, England froze its borders to raw Raw Wool Wholesale exports. In 1377 England’s King Edward III, “the royal Raw Wool Wholesale merchant,” stopped woven-goods
imports and the domestic weaving of foreign Raw Wool Wholesales and invited Flemish weavers fleeing the Spanish invasion to settle in England where the industry thrived. By 1660 Raw Wool Wholesale textile exports were two-thirds of England’s foreign commerce
