Season 1 / Episode 7: Her Story - Ancient Egypt
Linen & Knitted Socks of Ancient Egypt
We’re kicking off our brand-new Her Story mini-series, where we explore the women, hands, and histories behind the textiles throughout time. In this first installment, we travel back thousands of years to Ancient Egypt to uncover how linen was grown, spun, and woven into the fabric of daily life — and how a pair of surprisingly stylish knitted socks tells us more than you’d expect about craft, culture, and connection.
Join Nikki and Rachael for a journey through time, stitches, and stories that remind us why handmade matters.
