Description
Explore contemporary applications for timeless techniques inspired by the world of Icelandic sagas, as you try these unique fiber arts. In netting, a shuttle helps produce knotted meshes of consistent size. The heritage tradition of Nålbinding uses a wooden needle to produce a thick, warm fabric. And, you don’t have to follow a pattern or count stitches! Project options include a netted bag suitable for shopping or dyeing fleece, and Nålbound hat or slippers.
Donna Kallner puts a contemporary spin on ancient textile techniques, in work that celebrates traditional skills and reflects the landscape of her home in rural northern Wisconsin. Donna grows and gathers plant materials for dyeing local wool fleece that she spins especially for nålbinding.
