I’ve never seen a thorough comparison with the yardage, crochet vs the nalbinding stitches! And the cutting demonstration was great. Thanks for such a detailed video of an ancient and amazing craft!
I am trying, I love this idea. I just met a woman who sold me raw animal's fiber. She showed me her viking projects. Now I try with the needles my husband made with the help from your husband ! Many thanks to you both , From the two of us, The Fasts!
I've been trying to teach myself how to nalebind with not a lot of luck. I really feel I may have it this time. With the two of you doing it and repeating it is sinking in. I am so glad I stumbled onto this site. Now to get my husband to make me a bone needle. Thank you so much!!!
Great video! It inspired me to make my sister a needle so she can try a new way of working with yarn! I just made a fuigo off of your design and it works beautifully!
I knit, crochet, and Tunisian crochet. I've watched a ton of videos on nalebinding and you explain it, especially the turn, more clearly than anyone. Thank you so much for providing clear directions on how to make a linear item like a scarf. One question: What stitch is this?
@@ValhallaIronworks, you're very welcome! Whatever the stitch is, it's beautiful! As soon as I finish the Tunisian scarf I'm working on, I'm going to follow your directions to make my first nalebinding scarf.
Best of luck with it! It's a lot of work compared to something like crochet or knitting, but the end result I think is much nicer. Particularly with a fluffy, soft wool!
Think this is the Oslo stitch and is usually the first one people learn. I would like to have more including patterns and other stitches. Books are fine but actually seeing people do it while explaining their thoughts helps. I have problems with remembering patterns and where I am in them (knit 1 purl 2 then...) my mind wonders off and I am lost. This may work for me.
Brilliant! PLUS, instead of the tedium of adding another length, you get to perform MAGIC, instead! How cool is that?!? *As for cutting a stitch in the middle of a piece, you could EASILY patch a hole in nålebinding!! WOW!! That's très important for me, being more of a wabi-sabi sort of maker, for whom the most beautiful beauty of items is in the utility of them, rather than their appearance...AWESOME!!! After decades watching video online, I believe that is the FIRST time I've ever watched an hour long "how-to" video!! Ordinarily, I might watch a bit but most of the time, I'd just skip it! But this is awesome! Thank you for sharing your skills!!
This seems like… Mammen stitch? I think that’s what the 2-loop stitch is called. I do Oslo stitch; which is going through only one loop of the previous row, the top thumb loop, then twist and down and pull through. It makes a tighter stitch (and thus is very, very s l o w, unless you’re working with super-bulky wool). Still, great, detailed tutorial, and beautifully-made needles! I look forwards to another Naalbinding video!
i took a class this is one of the oldest forms of clothing making besides sprang which looks like netting a hammock that you sleep in it’s weaved on a loom your always making two stitches at a time and you use dowels in the pairs of stitches it’s also ancient acts more like knitting than nalbinding has more similarities to crochet sprang acts like knitting in a way that you can put designs in its stitches i think it only stretches one way side to side nalebinding is done in a way that you never half to mend it because it felts it’s self from being made of wool i don’t know if she’s an expert on nail binding but her name is angula ackerman she gives classes on naulbinding i think there is at least 7 to 12 different stitches she has examples and i think she has one awards in naulbinding she is a weaver belongs to miami valley weavers guild in yellow springs ohio she’s amazing
Amazing video ! Thank you for explaining the turn! What stich is this? I have started doing the normal begonner oslo stich. But this one is really pretty I would like to know its name :)
We're not entirely sure, sorry! The craft is so old that different sources refer to different stitches by different names and it all gets very confusing, so we just focus on what works and don't bother with names!
Saw nalebinding first by Marion.s World . Marion whittled her needle herself using willow. But Tasmanian Ash is shouldn’t be too hard to find in Australia for me and I will get my husband to have a go. Have persisted for a few days with the technique using a darning needle,not easy but slowly getting better 😂❤🇦🇺
Haha practice makes perfect! Fun fact about Tasmanian Ash, it's actually a Eucalypt! And in fact any gum tree will produce a lovely wood for Nalebinding needles!
please do advanced class for me i would like to see more naulbinding it’s not easy to learn the waterfall you call a dive i bought needles from poland made of antler also needles mad from icelandic sheep bone there beautiful have ruffer bone feel more curved in the center thin different sizes and shapes got them at a wool gathering in yellow springs ohio bought the last 3 she had in 2024 this year they have the feel of cats tong they grip your thumb thank you for making it easer to learn with your way of viewing it what ever lingo it takes to learn this ancient technique of chainmail that looks like braiding the wool gathering is at young’s dairy in september every year the middle of september in yellow springs ohio in the usa
I have a question. I tried knitting awhile back. It was really a struggle. I have giant hands. Like an orangutan. Lol Would my giant meaty claws be and advantage or hinderance?
Arrrggghhh! Six minutes into a 50 minute video and I have to click out. Content might be valuable, but between the presenter constantly moving the materials and the videographer bouncing and going out of focus, it’s impossible to watch any further. Best of luck to you both in the future.
Amazing video I loved the example! I would love to learn more!!!

Much appreciate the way you teach. Thank you ❤
I love this tutorial - thank you! Easy to follow and understand and pleasant voices to listen too.
Very glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

Sounds brilliant! I hope you enjoy!

You can do it! I believe in you! Thanks for watching!
Make more nålbinding videos!!!! I loved your explanation, what you showed (with cutting nålbinding), and I learned a lot!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it! My wife and I have been thinking of a Part 3, so stay tuned!
Great video! It inspired me to make my sister a needle so she can try a new way of working with yarn! I just made a fuigo off of your design and it works beautifully!
Awesome! They'll sure give you an arm workout

Finally, now I have to look up where I put my needles ...
You explained this so well! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Very cool. I'm going to have to go back and watch the first one again and make myself some needles. thanks for sharing! 👍⚒️🔥

part 1 shaping a needle: no problem. this....rough lol
Do what I did.... I made the needle, then handed it off to my wife to do the hard part 😂😂😂
exactly the plan!! hahaha@@ValhallaIronworks
I have a question.
I tried knitting awhile back. It was really a struggle. I have giant hands. Like an orangutan. Lol Would my giant meaty claws be and advantage or hinderance?
I just happened to have a tape measure. 7.5 cm thumb. Lol Could knit sails maybe? 😂
I'm a big-handed person, too! My thumb is 7cm long, and I can do it just fine! I reckon you'd do alright!
Maybe you would enjoy netting. The shuttle is larger than knitting needles and nail binding needles.
@@andrewlast1535
Why did you start with mammen stitch then change to Oslo stitch?
Because on my channel I can do whatever I want
@@ValhallaIronworks not helpful
Do you know how to start the Danish stitch.?
No, unfortunately

What is this stitch called?
We're honestly not sure what this stitch is called, sorry. It's the trouble with fibre arts as old as this.
It started with mammen stitch and thenswitches to Oslo stitch.
