History of Wool Jumpers
It would be hard to imagine the world without our old favourite, the knitted wool jumper. But what can we learn about the two most important aspects of the wool jumper: the knitting needle, and the wool itself?
Wool jumpers would not be around today if it were not for the simple invention of the knitting needle. The Arabs used the earliest needles to knit wool and basic cloth. These needles were made from copper wire with a hook at one end, much like the crochet hooks of today.
Others made needles from wood, ivory, bone, bamboo, amber, and iron, as well as other materials. The needles were made by the knitters themselves, and were called knitted woods, needles, skewers, or wires.
The invention of the modern smooth pointed needles we knit with today may have been European, but the date at which it superseded the hook is unknown. Because of the danger posed by the sharp points when not in use, point guards and needle cases were used for protection and storage.
It goes without saying that the other important part of the wool jumper is the wool itself.
Benefits of Wool
There really is no substitute for this natural, light weight, hard wearing material in terms of price, warmth, and feel. Modern substitutes still try to take its place, but as soon as they get close to the benefits of wool, the price escalates to a level which makes them economically unviable.
