In Great Britain, before the Industrial Revolution, and the appearance of huge cotton mills, there was something known as a cottage industry. Most families tried to suppliment the family income from farmwork, by dying wool, weaving cloth on small looms, often sited in an upper room of the family home, and selling their work at local markets. Hand knitting was also a cottage industry in some areas. On the coming of the Industrial Revolution, the draw of higher wages in factories, sounded the death knell on most of the cottage industries (whom couldn't compete on sale prices with the big mills), and many agricultural workers moved into the cities.
