As I go through reading about the evolution of Scottish Highland dress, there seems to be minimal information on the transformation for cloth/wool bag socks, into the knitted hose. In the early 17th century, illustrations seem to depict knit hose, not the bag socks. So does anybody know if wool knit socks/hose were used in the 17th century? I see it appearing more and more toward the mid, 17th century. Can anybody enlight us about the progression from the bag sock to the knit hose?
