[Moo] naalbinders needed!

[Barbara Miller]

Greetings all, 

One has come with bits of naalbinding, and does not think it is right, and wants 
to know what she is doing wrong. I am trying to figure out naalbinding, so that 
I may help her... but I don't really do naalbinding yet. So, we need any help 
available!

If you have ever done naalbinding, have a vague idea about naalbinding, have a 
good idea about naalbinding, are a naalbinding expert, or just want to give it a 
try, you are needed! This sunday afternoon coming (Aug 29), at House Wolfhou 
(106 The Vance Way, 22405), we will be exploring naalbinding. 


Naalbinding is a viking/norse stretchy fabric made of loops of yarn 
interconnected. It has been found made into socks, mittens, and hats. Over 30 
stitches have been identified used in mittens (different areas used different 
stitches... not all those different stitches in one item of clothing). 
Naalbinding has been miss identified as knitting or crocheting, but it is not 
the same thing. It predated those 2 yarn arts.... come and try it! I have a few 
naalbinding needles and yarn....
