Silk Stockings Through Four Centuries
Silk stockings are traced to 1547 with Henry II of France. Elizabeth I reportedly wore silk after receiving a pair in 1560. Henry VIII wore cloth hose until a Spanish silk pair appeared. Edward VI received silk stockings from Sir Thomas Gresham. William Rider, a London spinner, learned to knit them with wires or needles. Cotton stockings began in 1720.
