Abstract

Wool making industry was the main export industry of Mallorca in the 15th century. In the following work we intend to put emphasis on two aspects. Firstly the origins of this industry, regarding to a movement of repopulation and the arrival to the island of craftsmen from the mainland or of people who become part in the wool business after their arrival, always before 1348. The second aspect is to show how the textile industry was able to adapt to the international market circumstances: adaptation to new textiles in the 16th century, growing fabrication of linen made from natural fibres (line, hemp, cotton) in substitution of wool. The work is completed with an analysis for specific moments within the relationship of textile manufacturing and the agrarian situation and references to other manufacturing sectors.
