Oh My Giddy Aunt. I’m so disappointed in myself :o(

For a girl who has spent a lifetime knitting and sewing and crocheting, WHY have I never heard of Nålebinding before?

It is now known exclusively as a Scandinavian craft but the image above is of a pair of Nålebound socks found in Egypt, dating from 300-500AD.

And what about ….“The oldest known textile fragment of Nålbinding dating from c. 6500 BC was found in Nehal Hemar cave, Israel.” ?

I’ve got a new craft to learn and a new area of study now. Woohoo :o)
