You can use a replica to knit gloves, and that's where the theory originated, but real ones are too big to make gloves for humans.
My confusion is more "why gloves in particular?" Couldn't this have been used for cloth making in general?
I don't know what this item is called, so I can't look up its size. Is it too big to be used for cloth making at all?
No one knows what they were called, so they're just Roman Dodecahedron: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron
Cheers, thanks for the link!
