- Gordonjcp 3y agoKnitting predates the Roman empire by a comfortable margin.
- George83728 3y agoDo you have any evidence for that? Note that knitting is a specific thing, we're not talking about all woven textiles generally.
- Gordonjcp 3y agoThe Romans were buying knitted and spun textiles from the north-west of Scotland before they even set foot in the south of England. It's pretty well-documented.
- George83728 3y agoWhere is that documented?
- misnome 3y agoThe link, and wikipedia, disagree with you.
