Hand knitting is an art that stood the test of time. The oldest knitted artifact dates back to the 11th century. Found in Egypt, the socks featured complex color work and advanced knitting techniques. It is believed that knitting originated in the Middle East, traveled to Europe via the trade routes and later spread to the Americas. Over the centuries, hand knitting evolved from creating luxury items for European nobility, to providing necessary garments such as aran sweaters for fisherman or socks for soldiers, and back to being a luxury since the introduction of knitting machines.
