Quote:These socks are done with nallbinding, the one-needle form of "knitting" that was around long before knitting. (And as a reminder, the Romans did not knit. Smile
link from old RAT
Bottom images I'm told were knitted, not nålbound/nallbound/naalbound. I'm sure ther is is a difference, but somehow I don't understand why there should be a 'terminus' before knitting can't have existed. If somehow invented the technique earlier than previously assumed, why not?
The museum in Stuttgart where they told me these socks were knitted and from the4th c. AD.
