Mongolian TW?

[SNSpies]

Here is the entry under TEXTILES in a book by Paul D. Buell titled "Historical Dictionary of the Mongol World Empire (Lanham MD: The Scarecrow Press, 2003):

TEXTILES.  Prestige good in the Mongol world.  The Mongols did not weave, except, apparently, for a minor tradition of card weaving.  This was largely due to the fact that the wool produced by their sheep was of too poor quality to make good wool cloth.  There was also little space in Mongolian life for large and complicated looms.

Hmmmm ....
