Sewing thread is considered to have been the first textile material. History tells us that some 25000 years ago sewing threads were made by the persons living in caves and jungles by rubbing and twisting together the long fur fibers pulled from animal skins. The crude threads, by means of needle, were used to join animal skins to form the primitive clothing of the early civilization.
The most affected was the textile industry especially the textile fabrication and sewing thread industry. In India till 1990 only cotton threads were used, but technical developments have given a wide range of synthetic threads which are for most purposes now superior to cotton threads.
