Richard Candee, Professor of American and New England Studies at Boston 
University, has done a great deal of research on the knitted stocking 
industry in 19th-century New England. I would think that the process would 
be similar to knitted underwear, and I am sure that he could be helpful.

Subject: seeking manufacturing info


> Hello--
