Nålbinding

Using a simple needle and wool yarn, nålbinding is a method of making fabric from loops of yarn. Nålbinding, also known as needle looping or knotless netting, is found worldwide and dates back to early Bronze or Iron Age cultures. Fabrics made from wool nålbinding were often felted to create warm, airtight mittens, socks, and hats.

In this class, students will be introduced to the nålbinding technique as they learn to make a neckwarmer, a small bag, and mittens.
