The prohibition against mixed fabric was a cultural reference that any person in that time would have understood.
They preferred wool. Wool was their fabric just like cotton is ours. They were holdfast cultivators. They had no cotton, they grew no flax. The fucking evil non-believers down in the valleys made and traded all that. This was a direct prohibition against cultural and economic mixing with the enemy...and it comes in a passage positively -obsessed- with the dangers of mixing. The dangers of mixing seeds in the field, beasts of burden..and..ofc, of mixing blood.
Interestingly, their priests would have been linen clad with woolen dyed threads. So that much hasn't changed. There's always been a double standard between the shepherd and the flock.
