Nalbinding- Viking ‘Knitting’
Description
Click here to see what you can learn in this workshop
We will learn the ancient art of nalbinding using a traditional wooden needle and pure wool yarn. It’s a fascinating looping technique which uses short lengths of yarn and produces a fabric which does not unravel. We will learn how to make a hat (for your favourite Viking!) and wrist warmers. Oslo and Mamman stitch are a good start, and we will look at other stitches for those who want to explore further. Beginners welcome!
