Why do people wear socks?

In cold weather, we wear socks to keep our feet warm.

The first socks were made of animal skins.

In 1000 AD socks were worn only by rich people.

These socks were made in 300-500AD in Egypt.


In 1589 the Knitting machine was invented.

This meant that socks could be made quickly and cheaply.

Now, everyone could wear socks!
