Solenoids are inverse limits of the circle, and the classical knot theory is the theory of tame embeddings of the circle into 3-space. We make a general study, including certain classification results, of tame embeddings of solenoids into 3-space, seen as the "inverse limits" of tame embeddings of the circle. Some applications in topology and in dynamics are discussed. In particular, there are tamely embedded solenoids Σ ⊂ ℝ³ which are strictly achiral. Since solenoids are non-planar, this contrasts sharply with the known fact that if there is a strictly achiral embedding Y ⊂ ℝ³ of a compact polyhedron Y, then Y must be planar.
