There’s something prevalent in almost everything we own, it’s the common factor that holds so much together. We’re not talking about something esoteric like “love” or “friendship,” it’s something much more practical than that.

We’re talking about thread.

So where did it all begin?

Thousands of years ago when humans started to wear garments for warmth and protection. Our ancestors used thin strips of animal hide in order to sew together large pelts and fur together in one piece.

As civilizations began to advance, garments began to become much more refined.

Different civilizations utilized the land around them to bring new and innovative ways of creating thread. The Egyptians figured out how to incorporate plant fibres, wool and animal hair into spinning thread. They along with the Phoenicians also pioneered the use of berries and plant matter in creating colourful and long-lasting dyes while civilizations in both China and Japan discovered how to incorporate silk into their thread making.
