Jedediah Strutt (1726 – 7 May 1797) or Jedidiah Strutt – as he spelled it[1] – was a hosier and cotton spinner from Belper, England.
Strutt and his brother-in-law William Woollat developed an attachment to the stocking frame that allowed the production of ribbed stockings. Their machine became known as the Derby Rib machine, and the stockings it produced quickly became popular.
