I got needles to try and learn this my self and got so frustrated and I think your video has convinced me I didn't try long enough
It is hard. If it's in you to do it then I encourage you to go on. You're the first to know...my brother Bart was sick and didn't get to try on the finished Nalbinding cap, and I didn't get any pictures to share this week but hopefully in the future. Also I'm still working on the cap in the video and still wondering if I'm doing it right. If enough of us carry on this ancient craft it wont go extinct, onward. Take care. ~Shiree
PS. I appreicate you watching the show.
I discovered this craft a few days ago. So interesting, so fascinating. Ordered some needles right away and now I'm waiting for them to arrive so I can get started. 😆
Good luck to you. What an amazing ancient craft. I feel like I'll be working at truely learning it for a while...patience. Thanks for watching and joining me on the journey. ~Shiree
If it helps, remember it is wool. If it is too big, or part doesn't quite lay smooth, you can sort of full it (or outright wet felt that part) to make it do your bidding. You can shrink it down, carefully, too. That will also make it more weather proof. It does lose a bit of stitch definition, but it gains in density. You can also join your bits of yarn just with water (or do a spit join) and friction--rubbing it between your palms-- much more quickly than using a needle felting set up, if you wish.
I have been teaching myself, and have made a point of using a different stitch with each project, as well as delving into as many websites as I can find. With each I learn more and different aspects. Keep it up! It is truly satisfying, and your results look just fine. It is a learning curve.
Thank you very much. I will keep at it and master this over time. ~Shiree
I do it in France at medieval fairs together with spindle spinning. But I am from the UKand weirdly now remember my grandma making hats for us using naalbinding.
That's so cool. I definately need to learn in person with an expierenced teacher. My second try at a better Nalbinding hat for my brother didn't go so good. I wont give up on this ancient craft. Thanks for watching. ~Shiree
I can needle bind its fun i make every thing to jumpers bags hats many things i made my needle also
That's awesome. The nalbinding concept is wonderful. Thanks for watching. ~Shiree
I've been doing this craft for over 5 yrs and there are many stitches to try out such as Mammen/Korgen stitch,Finnish stitch 2+2,Dalby stitch,Russian stitch 2+2+2 and many more including the the turning stitch.
How did you learn it? I'm still having trouble and not sure I'm doing it right. I would like to take an in person class someday. ~Shiree
@@rehashfiber there is a TH-cam channel called Neulakinntaat,and it was owned by Finnish woman who teaches any stitch in both English and Finnish. I learnt it from her, and if you want to learn more bout the technique and other tips,you can visit her website,type "neulakinnas" where you find in the English, Swedish and Finnish. There's also a blog on where she posts and in a old website before she moved it,there is a list of incomplete nalbinding stitches to try.
So nalbinding will absolutely not work with cotton yarn? I'd really like to try it, I only ever use 100% cotton yarns. (So neither wool, nor acrylic)
You have to continually join strands of yarn. With wool it can be needle felted together. For cotton you'd have to do the magic knot to connect the strands. So you could try it and see how it goes. I associeted this method with cold climates from ancient times, where wool would be the best. Thanks for watching. ~Shiree
@@rehashfiber hi Shiree, thanks for answering and your tip. I will definitely try it.
There is also a Russian join. Look it up, it should do for nalbinging.....wool is used because that's what the vikings used but I say anything goes. Just know that if you knot 2 pieces together it will be difficult to pull the yarn through
Oh my……..
Patience required!! 😳
And what happens if you “make a mistake and need to undo 😧
Appreciate the craft… but not for me 😬
It's a challenge that's for sure. No undoing. I had to put it away for a little while because the second hat was not looking like a hat at all. I will seek furthing help eventually. Gotta keep the ancient craft going.
Thanks for watching. ~Shiree
You can totally frog back to your mistakes, catching them early is key for minimizing the work needed to fix mistakes. Better yet is cutting plastic shopping bags into loops and chaining them together to make something more disposable. I used that starting out, then moved to wool, but then I found that if I hook the ends over each other and weave the tails into the twist of the yarn, I could splice any fiber I wanted together, nalbinding with everything from jute to construction twine.
I learned that if you make a mistake it's called inventing a new stitch. 😆
