A chapter from an 1872 American industrial survey tracing the history of knitting from early netting and hand-knitted hose through William Lee's 1589 stocking frame and its spread to England and America. It covers colonial hand-knitting by women, export restrictions on frames, early American machine knitters and the move from home to factory production. It ends with a promotional description of the Isaac W. Lamb hand knitting machine and the Lamb company works at Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts.
