Knitting in early modern Europe [kemeresearch.com] is an online collection that results from a project that began as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship at the Centre for Textile Research at the University of Copenhagen.
The fellowship was awarded to Dr Jane Malcolm-Davies. The main focus of the project was knitted caps from the 15th to the 17th centuries. It has now expanded to look at other knitted garments, including liturgical gloves.
The project makes freely available (for personal research only) two virtual collections of knitted artefacts, drawn from a variety of institutions: knitted caps from the 15th to the 17th centuries, and knitted liturgical gloves, the latter compiled by the Holy Hands project. It also provides a wealth of resources for anyone wanting to accurately study knitted items.
