HNW - development of crochet

[Joel Thompson]

Hello listers!
A friend and I have been having a discussion about early forms of needlework.  Can anyone give a definite date and place for when crochet was developed?  What type of hook was used? How about the thread/yarn?  Any info is appreciated.

TIA
Linda
