The Museum of London has some modern pieces as well as a host of historic items, tudor caps, mittens etc.
The London Wall branch closed at the end of 2022 and will re-open in West Smithfield in 2026.
Knitted items can be viewed online, but research visits are currently suspended (January 2023); it is hoped that they will recommence in 2025.
Some of the historic material has been studied in depth. The caps are included in the Knitting in early modern Europe database (kemeresearch.com) and construction of the stockings was discussed in an article in issue 60 of the Archaeological Textiles Review by former Slipknot editor Lesley O’Connell Edwards, which is freely available online.
