ABSTRACT

Explaining the significance of space in textile production requires a multi-level approach, taking into account local, regional, national and global aspects as well as their interrelationship. Amain question is how textile production was geographically distributed. Textile production for direct subsistence or local markets occurs almost every where people settle and local materials are available for spinning and weaving, in order to meet the basic human need for clothing. It represents a general phenomenon, which develops under specific local and regional circumstances.
