Goods for the world. European Theme Route Manufacturing
Domestic handmade textile production was typical for the pre-industrial age. The father sat at the loom and the women of the family were responsible for spinning the yarn. An entrepreneur (in Germany he was called a "Verleger") delivered the raw material and organised sales, often over considerable distances. Textile manufacture was the leading industry in Europe: from the 16th century onwards it was basically organised on such a system. The first types of factories grew up in the 17th century, when larger groups of workers were concentrated in so-called "manufactories".
