Abstract

The Egyptian spinners and weavers have not changed over the years; they usually preferred the
traditional, safe procedures of production and hand tools rather than adopting newer methods. Both
ancient and modern Egyptian spinners and weavers are famous for using very simple tools to produce
lots of high-quality products. Modern Egyptians have maintained several working tools such as
wooden combs, hand spindles, and horizontal and vertical looms, in addition to following the same
manufacturing techniques as their ancestors. Therefore, this study highlights the significance of the
inherited similarities between ancient and modern spinners and weavers by analysing some spinning
and weaving scenes. The research aims to clarify the inherited raw materials, manufacturing
techniques, tools, workshops, and production centers. On the other hand, it explains the integral role
of female spinners and weavers, particularly those who reside in rural areas, as they are the greatest
preservers of spinning and weaving heritage.
