4,700-year-old ball of yarn discovered near Lake Bienne in Lüscherz, Switzerland, dated to at least 2700 BC

In the Neolithic period, the development of textiles was a significant leap forward for early societies. While direct evidence like the 4,700-year-old yarn ball is rare, indirect clues have painted a broader picture. Impressions on pottery, discovered at various sites, reveal patterns and techniques of weaving, indicating an established practice. Tools such as spindle whorls and loom weights, essential for spinning and weaving, have been unearthed as well.

In some exceptional cases, actual cloth fragments have been found, often preserved in unique conditions like bogs that prevent decomposition. Additionally, Neolithic art and iconography occasionally depict clothing and textile patterns.
