Simple Looping: the oldest form of Nalbinding?

Visually this is very considerate. Contrasting yarn and needles, simple background. Thank you. And good audio without background music. Such a relief after the other videos I've tried. Classy!

That way of adding to the cordage was a revelation to me. So simple and so brilliant! Thank you! Now I need to watch the video again to learn the stitches!

It looks like the precursor to Crochet. Nettle looks like a valuable fiber since it retains the twist even by hand quit easily. I like your videos. Loose half knots, then wet blocked at the end.

This is interesting will try that with yarn and yarn needle

Fantastic videos, your channel is wonderful! You have such a jolly and friendly style, it’s like listening to a favourite aunt. Looking forward to learning lots more, keep it up!

So insightful thank you! I’ve been making needles from the deer needle bone and it’s led me to some of the prehistoric methods of working fiber. Thank you for this

Simple amazing everlasting skills thank you!

This technique was how I first started naalbinding. With reduced gauge in wool, it makes excellent socks, hats and mittens.By the way, you have a beautiful voice for this!

I love that as I am watching these videos I'm seeing so much similarity between modern-day fibrecrafts. Amazing stuff.

This reminds me of crochet.

This was mind blowing! 🙀 Thank you for sharing. A part of me can't help but feel inferior to our ancestors, because I couldn't come up with such ingenious innovations and techniques.

Bloody Brilliant!! I started playing with Nalbinding years ago and had a parallel thought that workpieces could travel with the person making progress as the fiber became available since the nature of the stitching prevents the work from unraveling. For some reason I pictured this using wool and following the flock, but my biggest stumbling block was getting an acceptably clean/even splice as I always envisioned making the cordage/yarn first then splicing it in. Your technique is exactly what I was looking for, I think you hit the nail on the head! Cheers!

I realy like the work pieces at the very end and I was reminded of the needle baskets some people work. And I often saw this fabric coil basket stitching on instagram recently.

Fascinating

I might not have time to actually DO this.. but watching this i find incredibly relaxing...<3

my god this WONDERFUl. So versatile and applicable to so many different things. I am deeply appreciative of you showing multiple different types of natural fibers as well and a bit on how they are processed. I have nettle around but just not enough of it really to do this with and flax? forget it. But now that I've seen you work multiple fibers I'm reminded of so many different types of material and wondering to myself if I could get this type of fiber out of the invasive blackberry vines that are infesting the forests and hillsides where I live, or if the horsetail plant that grows everywhere around here could produce fiber that I might use. I recognize this twisting technique in the plastic bag yarn that I make and realizing what a wonderful net or net bag it would make which would be so easy to put together with this simple nalbinding technique you've shared... I'm even reminded of the old native turkey blanket in which this twisting of fiber has feathers added into the twist to make the resulting chord all soft and fluffy... you've really got my mind exploding with ideas and appreciating the old crafts. Thank you so much for sharing!

The way to spin strands has "sunwise and countersinwise" terminology

Your videos are always informative, energizing, and relaxing all at once. Thank you.

Fantastic. I recently fashioned a nalbinding needle out of a used ice lolly stick. I'm nalbinding a sunhat using plied bast fibers in York stitch. I've not seen an example of nalbinding used for such a hat, but I've love to hear about it if you have!

Thank you Sally for recording this such a clear tutorial. I think I knew how to do that extra twist when I adding a new loop. Thanks again for your guidance. LOVE you ♥ ♥ ♥
