HOT ! Handmade Wool Viking Replica Nailbinding Hat

Handmade Wool Viking Hat, Hand-Woven Using Ancient Nailbinding Techniques.

Called Nålbindning in the native Swedish it is also known as nalbinding, nalebinding, nalbindning, naalbinding, naalebinding or needle binding. Nalbinding is an ancient technique used to produce hats, socks, mittens and other wool goods using a single short needle and lengths of woolen yarn. Although later superseded by knitting, a technique that uses 2 needles instead of one, nålbindning produces garments of a superior quality with stitches that do not run if snagged and a weave that is more dense and therefore easier to felt, providing maximum protection from cold or moisture.

It is for this reason that the nailbinding techniques have grown very popular worldwide and especially on the re-enactment scene.
