With a single needle and short lengths of yarn joined together as you work, nalbinding produces fabric that is thick, warm, resolute, and most remarkable of all immune to unraveling, even when worn thin by adventure or time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this introductory class, you shall learn:\u003cbr\u003e- The foundational nalbinding stitch,\u003cbr\u003e- The art of increasing and decreasing,\u003cbr\u003e- The practical method of joining yarn lengths,\u003cbr\u003e- And through steady progress, you will depart with a completed nalbound item of your own making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo prior experience is necessary; all materials are provided.
