Nalbinding (needle binding or looping) is an ancient technique for creating durable textiles using a single, blunt, large-eyed needle and short, finite lengths of yarn. Unlike knitting, it forms interlocking, knotless loops that do not unravel. Great for fishing nets, hats, socks, mittens, shawls, bags and even shirts. Nalbinding is considered an endangered folk-craft - help keep this tradition alive!
Highlights of the class include:
● A card bone needle and skein of super bulky 100% wool yarn to keep and continue practicing at home!
● Learning 1-3 basic stitches and techniques for increasing, decreasing and starting a magic circle.
● Creating a stitch sampler.
● Starting a wool hat that you will be able to complete at home on your own time.
