Descoperită inițial de către un arheolog britanic, într-un cimitir din perioada romană in Oxyrhynchus (actualul Al-Bahnasa, in Egipt), această șosetă colorată și veche de 1700 de ani cu vârfurile despicate a fost confecționată din lână fină cu 3 straturi, prin metoda de tricotat cunoscută și sub numele de,, sprang”.
S-a prezervat pentru o lungă perioadă de timp datorită climei uscate a Egiptului.

There is a nice wee video at Manchester museum imagining the history of this sock. Unfortunately the cartoon shows a woman knitting it in two knitting needles, which was clearly not the case. Such a shame!

This is so cool! Love discovering new examples of Nalbinding. This is definitely Coptic Stitch Nalbinding for sure. I’m a Nalbinding Specialist and I’ve just recently reconstructed some of these. Love the different colours on this example, you can even see the joins and imperfections made by the original wool crafter. Very awesome! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

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.
