Online Beginning Nålbinding
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 handwarmers. You will want to choose a yarn that is anywhere from worsted to bulky, and the new Leviathan bulky yarn is especially well-suited to this class. If you get a different yarn, 100% wool is best, and make sure it is not super-wash, as this will make your yarn difficult to splice.
This is an online class. Details given with registration.
Day & Time: Saturday April 18th, 3-6pm
Minimum nålbinders: 2
Maximum nålbinders: 8
Cost: $35
