EGYPTIAN CLOTHING

ByMonisha Bandhu

All clothes were almost always made of linen which is made

from flax. Growing flax was a job for men only. Half-ripe flax stems made the best thread. Flax stems were soaked for several days. The fibres were beaten until soft. . The fibres were twisted into strong thread. The weaving was done on a loom. White linen had to be washed a couple of times. They washed it

in the river or canal, rinsed, then it was pounded on a stone. After that it was bleached in the sun.

They pressed the linen into grooves on a wooden board to let it dry.
