essay on "if I was a needle and thread"
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:The first form of sewing was probably tying together animal skins using thorns and sharpened rocks as needles,[5] with animal sinew or plant material as thread.[6] The early limitation was the ability to produce a small enough hole in a needle matrix, such as a bone sliver, not to damage the material. Traces of this survive in the use of bodkins to make eyelet holes in fabric by separating rather than cutting the threads. A point that might be from a bone needle dates to 61,000 years ago and was discovered in Sibudu Cave, South Africa.[7] A needle made from bird bone and attributed to archaic humans, the Denisovans, estimated to be around 50,000 years-old, and was found in Denisova Cave.[8] A bone needle, dated to the Aurignacian age (47000 to 41,000 years ago), was discovered in Potok Cave (Slovene: Potočka zijalka) in the Eastern Karavanke, Slovenia.[9] Bone and ivory needles found in the Xiaogushan prehistoric site in Liaoning province date between 30,000 and 23,000 years old.[10] Ivory needles were also found dated to 30,000 years ago at the Kostenki site in Russia.[11] Flinders Petrie found copper sewing needles at Naqada, Egypt, ranging from 4400 BC to 3000 BC.[12] Iron sewing needles were found at the Oppidum of Manching,[13] dating to the third century BC
