5hAbout this experience
Learn the ancient art of nålbinding! This fiber art predates both knitting and crochet, and is sometimes called "Viking knitting." In this class, you will learn a basic nålbinding stitch and make a set of hand warmers. You will need a nålbinding needle, and a skein of yarn that is anywhere from worsted to bulky - the new Leviathan bulky yarn is especially well-suited to this class. 100% wool is best. Make sure it is not super-wash, as this will make your yarn difficult to splice.
Materials:
- 1 nålbinding needle
- 1 skein yarn (weight: worsted, aran, or bulky wool yarn. Please no acrylic.)
Date and time: September 6th, 11:00 am-4:00 pm
