People talk about the fabric of our lives, and the fabric of society and so on, but let us not forget that fabric is a literal thing as well as a figurative one.

Textiles are defined as the yarns that are woven or knitted to make fabrics. The use of textiles links the myriad cultures of the world and defines the way they clothe themselves, adorn their surroundings and go about their lives. Textiles have been an integral part of human daily life for thousands of years, with the first use of textiles, most likely felt, dates back to the late Stone Age, roughly 100,000 years ago.

However, the earliest instances of cotton, silk and linen begininng to appear around 5,000 BC in India, Egypt and China. The ancient methods of manufacturing textiles, namely plain weave, satin weave and twill, have changed very little over the centuries. Modern manufacturing speed and capacity, however, have increased the rate of production to levels unthinkable even 200 years ago.

Our spin on this old yarn is provided by fabric ink kits that can be used in many imaginative ways to create permanent patterns, to mark fabric with company logos, and to provide identification on things that range from stamping on kids clothing for camp to marking ID numbers on uniforms in commercial laundries.
