Naalbinding

Www.die-petersens.com: Nalbinding. Nalbinded Scarf - KNITTING. "Finger Scarf"This is my first project I've posted..There's no board for naalbinding (and probably never will be!)

So I decided to stick it in knitting since historically naalbinding came before and probably led to knitting. This is not a very typical nalbinding project-- most people work in the round and use wool (easier to join). Outside of Scandinavia its mostly Viking and early medieval and Roman empire reenactors who are into nalbinding since there was no knitting or crochet in those eras. They usually make period garments --socks and mittens mostly--out of wool or linen. For this scarf I worked lengthwise and used cotton (peaches & creme "Licorice" variegated) and just for fun I let each row separate into "fingers" at the two ends of the scarf, kind of random lengths... Nalbinding is done with a largish eyed needle usually made out of bone or wood and you pull the whole length of yarn through with each stitch, like sewing. Thanks for looking! This is the best video I have found.

Nålbinding - Viking History. Nalbindning. Needlebinding, needle mitten technique...

It's sort of a needle lace technique. It's basically what the wired needle lace parts of the stumpwork are. You just do it with bigger needle and thicker yarn, and not with thread. You know the difference of fine lace knitting or crocheting and knitting or crocheting socks.Now, there are several different ways of needlebinding. Here is video tutorial on the Finnish stitch (Korgen), twisted stitch and Russian stitch. Directions for the Coptic (Tarim) stitch, the buttonhole stitch and the Danish stitch Construction of needlebinded socks a couple more links: (in Finnish) Naalbinding - Mielke's Fiber Arts.

Naalbinding [books] [needles] [yarn] [links] What is Naalbinding?!

Naalbinding is a unique fabric made with a needle and yarn in a looping technique - I call it a “cousin” of knitting and crochet. Practiced in various forms in many cultures, it gets its name from the Scandinavian people. Click on photo for close-up view.
