Nalbinding 101 (In Person)

Learn to knit like a Viking! In this class you will learn the basics of the ancient art of nalbinding. We will cover starting methods (both flat and in the round), as well as the Oslo stitch and keeping tension. We will cover different construction methods for commonly nalbound items, as well as finishing techniques. There will be a brief overview of the history of nalbinding. Students should leave with the beginning of a small drawstring pouch, and the knowledge needed to finish it.

Materials Needed:

• Nalbinding Needle (a blunt tapestry needle will work in a pinch but you will enjoy yourself more if you have the proper tool!)

• 1 Skein of worsted FELTABLE yarn (Soft by Studio Donegal or Laramie by Mountain Meadow)
