1.700 Jahre alte Socke

Diese bunte, 1 700 Jahre alte Socke mit gespaltenen Zehen wurde ursprünglich von einem britischen Archäologen in einem römischen Friedhof in Oxyrhynchus (dem heutigen Al-Bahnasa in Ägypten) gefunden. Sie wurde aus feiner, dreilagiger Wolle im sogenannten „Sprang“-Strickverfahren hergestellt. Aufgrund des trockenen Klimas in Ägypten blieb sie lange Zeit erhalten.

Können Sie uns ein Foto oder eine Zeichnung Ihrer buntesten Socken zeigen?

    Hi, this sock is made using naalbinding (needlebinding). The stitch should be the Tarim stitch, also known as coptic stitch. At least it looks like it. If you need a person in Great Britain to verify the stitch type, please let me know and I will get you a suitable contact.

    This is not made by using the technique of sprang, nor is it knitting. It is nalbound, a needle weaving technique.
