Nalbinding is a ancient form of fabric creation which predates both knitting and crochet. The earliest fragment of nalbinding  dates back to the 7th century BC. Nalbinding is done with a length of thread passed through a large needle.  The thread is then fed through loops in often intricate patterns.  Nalbinding was found throughout the ancient world in widely spaced areas such as Scandinavia, Peru and the Middle East.

Our  needles are made from a variety of hardwoods.  Pictured from left to right are wenge, purpleheart, padauk,lacewood black walnut, and curly maple.  The picture of the 4 inch needles from top to bottom show lacewoood, zebrawood, purpleheart and maple. These needles are 3, 4 or 5 inches long and finished to a smooth and silky texture. They will not catch on even the finest wools. Our naalbinding needles are made from wood so natural variations in color and grain is normal.
