When did wool first become widely used?

Ever since the days of Ancient Greece, wool has played a very important part in clothing. Roman togas were made of wool and it continued to be woven during the Dark Ages.

In fact, it was the only material available to most people.

The woollen clothes worn during the first half of the Middle Ages were simple and made for warmth. Houses and castles were cold, comfortless places and clothes had to be Ion to keep out the draughts ! With increasing wealth during the second half of the Middle Ages, clothes became more elaborate and other materials were used, but the tradition of the early Middle Ages still survives in the habits of monks and nuns.
