Beginner Nalbinding Workshop (Learn to knit like a viking!)

Travel back in time to learn the ancient & officially endangered craft of nalbinding - famously known as the knitting style of the vikings.

Nalbinding is an ancient and officially endangered heritage craft. With the oldest known remnants dating back to 6000 BC, it was used worldwide and has been made most famous as the pre-knitting style of the Vikings.

Join me as we travel back in time to learn this unique craft and take home your own viking style pouch, perfect for coins, treasures, trinkets, or even mobile phones. The sizing and style will give you all the skills you need to move onto bigger projects like hats and mittens.
