It's not new, I'm sure this has been known for some time.

Its a pity they didn't do some objective, quantified tests with bricks wrapped in socks on an inclined plane to find out what the friction coefficient was, or investigate whether the micron fineness of the wool made any difference - pretty sure rough woollen socks give better traction than fine woollen ones.
