And beyond raw materials, nature often provided crucial hints about use. For example, the craft that would eventually be weaving may have been jump-started by the example of birds using natural fibers to build nests. Felt, made by subjecting piles of loose fibers to moisture, heat and pressure, was probably first suggested by the permanent matting cave dwellers noticed when they wore their pelts with the fur side against their skin.
