Stockings
It’s considered that sock’s prototype has appeared in the Ancient Greece and represented some type of slippers made of soft leather covering heels and toes. Then they moved to the Ancient Rome where British warriors decided to use them under their rough shoes. After 100 years socks have returned to the Eternal city. At that time they looked like the modern knee-highs as they covered the entire shank. Further they began to rise higher and higher until they turned into stockings.
In Middle Ages stockings were necessary piece of clothing. Knitted socks have appeared in Spain in XVI century where they were decorated by hand. In 1589 William Lee has created the machine producing socks and stockings. He can be considered a founder of the French knitted industry. At the end of XVIII century in France there was invaded a rounded knitted machine and stockings of the machine knitting have replaced handicraft stockings being much cheaper.
