Knitted wool “tubes” were in use as early as the eleventh century in Egypt. These handy items most likely held coins or other small valuables. The style, which eventually became known as a miser’s purse (because of the relative difficulty of getting money out of the purse), was widely popular throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for both women and men.
