@philbetts @David @sister_ratched I suspect that it would depend on what you have available. And yes, weaving with grasses would probably be early on, but, that would not be as effective for warmth as furs and wools from animals in colder parts. So… depending on where you were?

@stufromoz @philbetts @David @sister_ratched See also: tapa cloth in the Pacific islands (not from grasses) If you're interested, very readable book "Fabric: The hidden History of the Material World" by Victoria Finlay, a fairly recent paperback.
