Good idea Ann,

Here is an online presentation - more in history of
industrializatin of cloth-- but it does have a
timeline:
http://www.si.edu/lemelson/centerpieces/whole_cloth/index.html
Shows some on the key "inventions" along the way.
Check the timeline in colors too for dyeing.

I do have this link on my Textiles page.

Not related to your topic -- I am just listing this
for anyone interested - Native Quilting Traditions:
http://www.conexus.si.edu/quilts2/index.htm

I couldn't find any weaving looms by searching the
site...maybe do some hunting around.
