Creative communities: knitting in Europe 1500-1800
http://ctr.hum.ku.dk/earlymodern/postdocproject/knitting/
"The research project is framed around a case study of knitted textiles
found in archaeological excavations in Copenhagen, Denmark. The unique
finding of more than 10,000 textiles, including a great deal of knitted
items such as stockings and waistcoats in a deposit of the harbour of
Copenhagen give new and challenging insights into the 17th and 18th
centuries Danish textiles and clothing (Ringgaard 2007). A textile find
in Kalmar in a warship sunk in 1676, among these a knitted silk
waistcoat in a ships trunk (still unpublished), adds to the knowledge of
knit ware fashion amongst the well to do in the 17th century. "
