Textiles are an important part of our world and of American History.
Once a booming industry here in the United States, today’s textile industry in the US is a fraction of what it once was. In 1785 Edmund Cartwright patented the very first power loom in England, this was the very first mechanical approach that used waterpower to speed up the weaving process.
