Fibers used in Aztec clothing
Wool and linen as raw material options are an outlandish claim. Aguilar-Moreno, author of the Handbook of the Aztec World doesn’t mention it in his detailed book, nor do any other Wikipages or scientific works regarding the culture.

Species of sheeps and goats are native to the Americas (Rocky Mountain area) but they were neither domesticated nor was their coat widely used. Llamas and alpacas do not live in the tropical highlands of Mexico.

Source 7 prior to my edit points to Mesopotamia and not to Mesoamerica where the use of woolen and linen is perfectly fine and correct, not so much in a precolumbian context. I am not even sure whether flax can be succesfully cultivated in the tropical highland climate of central Mexico.

If anybody else has contrary evidence I do welcome it, but I am more than convinced that the statement about wool and linen was a simple falsehood that is ought to be removed. Szkokt (talk) 21:52, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
