Title: Sock Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:sock URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sock Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT A sock is a piece of clothing worn on the feet and often covering the ankle or some part of the calf. Some types of shoes or boots are typically worn over socks. In ancient times, socks were made from leather or matted animal hair. Machine-knit socks were first produced in the late 16th century. Until the 1800s, both hand-made and machine-knit socks were manufactured, with the latter technique becoming more common in the 19th century, and continuing until the modern day.
