Quote:Right, but is there any actual proof of Romans using knitting of any kind? We have some finds from Egypt, right? Were they knit, or plain fabric?

I don't know if any more research has been done since Dorothy Burnham examined Romano-Egyptian socks and presented her analysis in 1972. She concluded that the socks were made by nalbinding.

(Dorothy Burnham "Coptic knitting: an ancient technique" Textile History 3 1972)

The Coptic-style stripey ones on the Armamentaria page are made by my partner, Anna.
