Experimental archaeology is the science of copying ancient technology. By studying and imitating artefacts like Manchester Museum’s Coptic sock (from c. 600 AD Egypt), modern knitters can learn how the ancient original was made. Have a go at a millennia-old craft. This workshop is suitable for adult crafters with some knitting skills required.
