People during the Viking Age could make things like socks, gloves and hats by ‘needle binding’ – nålebinding in Norwegian. You could call it the Viking Age equivalent of knitting. But it is a very different technique.
In this session you will learn how to use a simple needle made of wood to create simple stiches using wool – but importantly enough knowledge for you to carry on and make your own hat, gloves or socks.
