I would *love* to know what the dates and assumed origins are (if
any) for the knit garments. So far, the earliest I've heard
verified made in England (other than "Monmouth caps" which are
coarse-knit then felted/fulled) has been in the 1550s.
(I'm guessing that they're the youngest of the items in the display,
but... :-)
As far as I remember, the stocking foot is Italian mid 1500's, and
the child's knitted vest and mitten, not a set as I remember, are
1300's. (Dated from the context of the dig.) However, I will be
making proper notes next week and will pass them on.
