It would have been made on a relatively narrow homemade loom and the strips sewn together to make a wider fabric. It&#8217;s not known for its looks but valued rather for its warmth and durability. It was, however, forbidden to the Hebrews per Leviticus 19:19b, &#x201c;neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee&#x201d; (and Deuteronomy 22:11).
