Child's wool sock - nalbinding (Oxyrhynchus, Egypt, 100s AD). This was made before knitting was invented. It's done with a large sewing needle threaded with yarn. You make loops with the needle through the previous row of loops. So not totally unlike knitting, but much much slower. Notice how the toe is split to wear them with flip flops or sandals? #nalbinding #knitting #ancientegypt #romanegypt #childsocks #socks #ancientsocks #ancientsocksandsandals #flipflops #flipflopsinwinter
