In the putting-out system agents of urban textile merchants took wool to the homes of peasants, who span it into thread. The agant then took the thread to other peasants , who wove it into cloth. The merchant then sold the products. In the 19th century this domestic or family economy was more typical than the indusrtial factory economy.
