*This is not the only plant based sock found in Egypt, but they are less common than wool finds.
Compound nalbinding variants don't start to show up in the archeological record until the end of the 1st Millenium elsewhere, so future scientific dating of these socks is super important to our understanding of exactly when the compound variants of nalbinding began.
Today's Nalbound Object of the Week is another Egyptian sock, but this one is a bit unusual in that it is primarily made of linen.* It does have some dark blue/green and yellow wool on it. nalbound.com/2026/02/24/now…
They are also extremely similar in size, shaping, color, stitch choice and density and one is for the left and the other for the right foot. We are very lucky that photos were taken before the left sock was lost. But if you happen to find it, I'd be happy to hear it.
Today’s Nalbound Object of the Week is a two for one special. The left sock was in Berlin, but was lost in WWII. Its likely mate is in Ludwigsbourg. The two socks were both bought from the same dealer in 1890 and listed as presumably from Akhmim, Egypt. nalbound.com/2026/02/18/now…
The British Museum has included some lovely detailed photos in their online catalog, so I was able to zoom in and highlight the path of the loops. And yes, that is a knot you see connecting the new length.
Continuing with the theme of African nalbinding, this week's Nalbound Object of the Week is another Congalese Prestige Cape dating to pre-1853. nalbound.com/2026/02/10/now…
Made from raffia palm fiber, the stitch has often been mistaken for sprang as the stitch doesn't just intralace with previous stitches, it interlinks with them before crossing to form a new loop.
The Nalbound Object of the Week is a lovely red hat with a blue and yellow silk patterned wrap around its point/tassel from 11th-13th century CE Arsinoë/Krokodilopolis, Egypt. It's one of the few artifacts that include more than one type of nalbinding. nalbound.com/2026/02/04/now…
And with the Museum der Kulturen Basel's recent publishing of their online collection, I look forward to being able to show you the nalbound collection in my Nalbound Object of the Week series. nalbound.com/2025/12/23/now… (In and amongst other nalbinding from around the world.)
facebook.com/share/p/1HLWcw… Hard to believe it has been 7 years since I was able to traveltothe Museum der Kulturen Basel. I posted a bit about our examinations of the slip stich crocheted sock that had been misinterpreted as nalbinding here: nalbound.com/2021/02/21/coo… #nalbinding
We are honored to have been able to publish our article on that sock in ATR which I talk about and link to here: nalbound.com/2023/01/31/new…
For today's Nalbound Object of the Week we have some true figural work out of Peru. This time it's a singular effigy figure, not a border of figures. And, it's a viscacha, which are so adorable! nalbound.com/2025/12/30/now… #nalbinding #Peru
* Who am I kidding? I'm always thinking about socks... (or mittens, or hats, or.., but mostly socks) ** This is a very old art historical based dating. There has been no scientific dating of compound Egyptian nalbound socks.
As the holidays gear up, I find myself thinking of stockings...* So this week's Nalbound Object of the Week is a lovely example of Egyptian compound nalbinding. Ostensibly from the 4th century** nalbound.com/2025/12/23/now… #nalbinding #Egyptian #sock #nålbinding
