Rags were pounded into pulp with hammers, and placed in water. The mixture was constantly stirred so it would never settle in the bottom. After a certain amount of time, the mixture was poured out and put in a special machine, (i think...) and the color depended on the rags and water. Later about 1770, when rags became scarce because of the amount of paper makers, different things were tried. Wood was finally discovered and that's how we make it today!
