How about some knee-high colourwork socks? (collections-gwu.zetcom.net/en/collectio... ) 10 stitches and 15 rows, knitted with 1,5mm needles, in cotton-silk blend with 800m/100g. #CraftingScience #ArchaeologicalTextiles #YarnCrafts #KnitSky 🧶

Have you seen this sock? It has been at the collection of the German hosiery online museum, which has been closed down. Do you know which museum the physical object might be?

Does anyone know if any of the Fatimid/Mamluk knitted socks have been DNA typed for the cotton type or isotope analysed for the area of growth? #TextileArchaeology #Egyptology 🏺

Tieteentekijöiden liitto on huolissaan tieteen vapauden heikentymisestä niin kansainvälisesti kuin Suomessa. Viime aikojen tapahtumat osoittavat, että poliittinen valta pyrkii yhä avoimemmin ohjaamaan sitä, mitä tutkijat voivat tutkia, julkaista ja sanoa, liitto toteaa kannanotossaan. 1/2
