Current side project for when I don't feel like drawing: nalbinding socks! This is thumb-tensed Finnish stitch 2+2 with tornedalian lovikka yarn, the warmest combo there is.

I had a lovely weekend at Conspiracy, a convention not for playing games but for writing them. I ran an impromptu workshop on writing horror scenarios, a planned one on self publishing, and learned how to make books. I had to leave early though, as on Sunday I was running a nalbinding workshop.
Coming soon to our online shop: an all-in-one kit to make a buttery soft Merino wool cowl, using nalbinding!

Here's a sneak peek at a new product debuting at Lambtown: nalbinding taster kits! They'll be an affordable, easy way to try out the craft without buying supplies you might not need later.
More pop-up photos: We don't just sell yarn, we have 3D printed tools that I design and manufacture in-house as well. The nalbinding Loopships are very popular, and the SpinCue is designed to hold your spinning fiber's end securely and mark where to start drafting from.
More pop-up photos: I bring swatches every time. This way, you know exactly how your yarn will look & feel when made into a finished piece, no matter what craft. All our swatch rings have samples made with knitting, crochet, nalbinding, and weaving, as well as sample lengths of the yarn itself.
Prepared for the winter with my newly nålbinded scarf and previously nålbinded hat.
Been doing some nålbindning recently. Making a scarf! Before knitting and crocheting was invented, vikings made clothes with the technique called "nålbindning". Mostly hats and mittens. It reminds more of sewing but instead you use a big needle made out of bone, horn or wood.
My sister got me a nalbinding for beginners kit! It's the Viking way of making wool garments - and so far I'm VERY confused. Probably because I'm a lefty who works right handed...
Nalbinding invented before knitting or crocheting using a single needle to create durable products like hats, mittens, and socks. It's a series of knots, and unlike something that has been knitted it will not unwind if you pull on a loose end. I will attempt making a hat using the Oslo stitch.
Just a small chain of Oslo stitches but I'm beginning to figure this out. #nalbinding
Just shipped this bad boy out! Its a nalbinding needle made of Llanite from right here in Texas! DM me if you're interested in something similar! #crafts #nalbinding #fiberarts #lapidary #geology #knitting #crochet
Nalbound swatch is done for Celestial Wool & Fibers' Whimsical Worsted in Rhiannon! While superwash wool yarn isn't the usual go-to for nalbinding, this helped me learn which types of joins work well for fiber that can't be spliced by felting.
