Dyer and her entire team told about their research in a journal called PLOS ONE. In the journal, they told about the garment’s unique shading and weaving techniques. The Egyptians used their natural dying techniques to create pigments of red, yellow, and blue to create the primary colors, and the also created orange, purple, and green colors.
The Sock’s Story
The British Museum also told about the sock’s purpose, “This sock was for the left foot of a child with separation between the big toe and four other toes.” The study revealed that the sock was prepared to be used when the person was wearing a sandal.
Unique Style
The Egyptians were able to create such a beautiful sock because of their unique style of knitting. “A single needle looping technique sometimes called nålbindning,” told the British Museum team. This method allowed the Egyptians to sew each toe separately, thus giving them enough space to fit inside the sandal.
Mixture Of Everything
Although the knitter who created the sock made all the toes separately out of dark green yarn. Then the knitter, “join and work in bands of orange (four rows), purple (four rows), bluish-green (four rows), dark red (six rows), green (six rows),” said one of the scientists. Even the heel of the socks had multi-colored pattern was made of shades of dark blue and yellow as well.
Importance Of The Research
The research didn’t just tell us about the garment, but according to Dr. Dyer’s imaging technique which made sure that no harm is done to this precious discovery which was also bot less cheap and intensive than the techniques they used before. “Previously, you would have to take a small piece of material, from different areas,” she told to The Guardian.
More About The Research
“And this sock is from 300 A.D. It’s tiny, it’s fragile, and you would have to physically destroy part of this object. Whereas with both the multi spectral imaging and other techniques, you have a very good preliminary indication of what these could be,” Dr. Dyer added further.
Truly, this unique discovery has shown the Egyptians in a new light. They were able to use the techniques which we thought were invented by us.
