Buttons and knots.
Yes, people used string and other fastening methods like buttons, hooks, and buckles before the invention of Velcro in the 1940s. Velcro offered a convenient and reusable alternative to traditional fastening methods.
Velcro was invented by Swiss engineer George de Mestral in 1941 after he observed how burrs stuck to his clothing and his dog's fur during a hunting trip. He was inspired by the tiny hooks on the burrs that easily attached to fabric, leading to the development of the hook-and-loop fastening system we now know as Velcro.
Astronauts use Velcro, ziplock bags, and other tethering devices to keep items secure and prevent them from floating away in the microgravity environment of space. They can also attach items to their suits or use restraints to keep objects in place. Proper storage and organization are essential to prevent items from drifting in space.
Before the spinning jenny was invented, spinning was done by hand using a spinning wheel or a distaff and spindle. These manual methods were time-consuming and labor-intensive, limiting the amount of yarn that could be produced. The spinning jenny revolutionized the textile industry by allowing one person to spin multiple threads at once, increasing efficiency and productivity.
A man named George de Mestral found burrs stuck to his pants and dog's fur after a nature hike in 1948. He studied the way the hook-like pattern of the burrs stuck to the cloth of his pants under a microscope. The word VELCRO is made of parts of two french words, velours (velvet) and crochet ( hook) How to say crochet= cro-shay
