Knitting.

This article from Real Simple explores the history and significance of knitting. While weaving is an ancient art, knitting is believed to have emerged around the 10th century, likely inspired by nålbinding, a technique that used a single needle. Knitting became popular in Europe, particularly among men who wanted form-fitting stockings. In the 1800s, hand-knitting became a pastime for middle- and upper-class women. Knitting also played a role in espionage during times of war. Today, hand-knitting is trendy again and is known to have calming effects on mental health. [Extracted from the article]
