Description of the Product

Nalbinding, also known as needlebinding, is the oldest known knitting technique in the world. It is based on making intertwining loops using a needle and a thumb. With nalbinding, one can make many clothes and clothing accessories such as socks, hats, gloves and mittens. The oldest cloth made with nalbinding is found from Israel and it dates back all the way to 6000 bc. Hence it is not far-fetched to call this technique ancient.

This needle is made from genuine horn. It is meant for nalbinding, so it is flat and bigger than a sewing needle. These needles have also been polished extra smooth, so they are comfortable to use with even rough woolen yarn. The smooth surface allows the needle to glide through the loops without pulling or picking them.

Nalbinding was popular knitting practice throughout the viking age and early medieval times. We don't have an exact date when it started to fade away, however modern knitting and crocheting started to gain popularity during the 15th century, and nalbinding was slowly forgotten amongst the masses. Luckily, nowadays there have been attempts to revive this ancient crafting tradition. In Finland, nalbinding (fi=kinnasneulatekniikka) has been preserved fairly well and we have good material in Finnish, but some material to help you in your DIY-projects is available in English and in many other languages too.

  Tilasin keskiaikaisen hupun. 100% puuvillaa, joten voi käsitellä kosteussuoja-aineella. Vaivatonta kaupankäyntiä.

  Sain kaksi muistikirjaa ja kalligrafiasetin setin 25-vuotis lahjaksi rakkaaltani. Ne ovat upeita! Olen saanut valtavasti kyselyitä muistikirjan alkuperästä ja kehunut Rautaporttia laadukkaasta käsityöstä. Tuotteista huokuu estetiikka, laatu ja taianomaisuus. Täydellinen lahja historia-/fantasianörtille!

  Siis aivan huikea!!
Tilasin pari tuotetta aamupäivällä, ja 24h myöhemmin ne olivat jo noudettavissa postin automaatista!
Kaikki sujui kuin rasvattu, ei ole mitään moitittavaa.
Vaatteet olivat juuri sitä mitä tilasin, ja koot pitävät kyllä todella hyvin paikkansa! 😍
Aion ehdottomasti tilata vielä uudestaan, ja ehdottomasti suosittelen kaikille!
