Workshops in English

Needle Binding / Nålbinding / Vattarsaumur is an ancient handicraft that was used in Iceland in the Viking age and until the early 1500s, when knitting arrived in the country. Nålbinding allows us to make extremely warm and durable clothing. 

During this workshop we will try different stitches and learn how to increase and decrease. Participants work at their own pace so each individual will decide how fast or slow to go.

Teacher: Kristjana Kona

What to bring: Included in the price is a needle binding needle handmade in Hveragerði and Icelandic wool yarn to use during the course.
