When was the worlds first pair of socks made?
Knitted socks have been found ancient tombs in Egypt dating 3-6th centuries AD. Romans wrapped their feet in strips of leather or woven fabric by the 2nd century they were wearing udones. These were woven fabric pulled over the foot. In Europe socks were strips of cloth or hide that were wrapped around the legs and feet. In the middle ages the legs of pants became lower and more fitted. Hose was a fitted cloth that covered the lower leg. When "breeches" became shorter hose got longer and around the 12th century feet were added to hose. Knitted hose was worn in Scotland around the turn of the 15th century and then in France. William Lee invented the first knitting machine and many of his principles are still used today in modern textiles. By the 1590's knitting machines were in full use and knitted hose became more common.
