Seven pieces of silk braids excavated from Chu Tomb No. 1 at Mashan in Jiangling are thought to belong to the knitting fabric. Their structures is a double-stitched type, with a lining silk on the back side to fix the knitted threads; besides the traverse linking structure, there are also multi-structures by single jersey combined with traverse linking, the excavators declare. The authors of this paper believe that these cords can be classified as some intermediary between the knitwear and the needlework. They have the structure similar to certain kinds of knitting, crochet and embroidery, and can be duplicated through two different methods. The differences and similarities between these cords and the traditional hand-knitting or embroidery, as well as their origins are discussed. Photographs of the relic and the duplication are presented.
