Re-order Paragraphs
Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- This chain, from pasture to loom to marketplace, turned wool into one of the most heavily traded commodities of the pre-industrial world.
- The resulting yarn was woven into cloth that could be sold far beyond the region where the sheep had grazed, linking remote farms to distant urban markets.
- These merchants transported the wool to mills, where mechanized carding and spinning eventually replaced the slower work once done by hand in farmhouses.
- As flocks grew larger, farmers began shearing their sheep annually and selling the raw fleece to traveling merchants rather than processing it themselves.
- Sheep farming has shaped the economies of hilly, temperate regions for centuries because such landscapes are poorly suited to arable crops but ideal for grazing.
