Woolies were for the most part made by British sailors, from the mid-19th century to the early 20th.

One theory is they were inspired by Chinese embroideries, which sailors bought in Hong Kong & the Treaty Ports when they opened to the West in 1842 https://buff.ly/42Fg91T #museums #Maritimemuseums
