The Nalbinding for Beginners Book by Nidavellnir is HERE! From a York based Nalbinding Master Craftsman and Viking-Age Heritage Specialist!

Launched in February 2018, this instructional book continues to sell out! With over 800 students using this resource worldwide, to help learn an ancient wool craft. The 'Nalbinding for Beginners' Book, is the first of its kind in the UK.

Whether you have an interest in Knitting, Wool, History, Archaeology or Historical Crafts, this Kit provides you with everything you need to know to Learn and Develop the earliest form of fibre craft, Nalbinding. It's also a great way of using up some of that left-over yarn that fill's up in wool crafter's homes!

Known by many different cultural names, 'nalebinding' is the name for the Scandinavian form. Using a single needle and detaching long lengths of yarn you use historical stitches and devoted techniques to create warm items like hats, socks, gloves and mittens. For the purposes of introducing and teaching a UK based audience the technique is referred to as, Nalbinding, by Nidavellnir.

The stitch you'll learn in this book is based on the archaeological examples of the Simple Looping forms. With excavated examples surviving from sites such as Tybrind Vig (dated c.4200 BC) and Bolkilde( dated c.3200 BC) in Denmark. Both archaeological examples are held at the National Museum in Copenhagen and are a great starting point to understanding this ancient craft! It's where I first started, now You can too!

In 2018, Nidavellnir provided research to get Nalbinding listed as an "Endangered Heritage Craft" in the UK, with the Heritage Craft Association. This Craft is now considered an Endangered, due to the lack of Professional Crafts-people practicing, teaching and safeguarding this craft. So when you purchase this kit from Nidavellnir, you are actively supporting a Heritage craft Legacy! And becoming a part of that Legacy Yourself!
