I'm not super experienced in Nalbinding but I've made a few things before. I hear people say all the time that nalbinding is easier to repair since it doesn't unravel, but I'm having trouble finding any instruction/resources on actually doing repairs on it. I have a pair of socks/slipper bootie things that I'm starting to wear holes in the soles of and would like to repair/reinforce. I have a picture of the wear on one of them, they're made using one of the Finnish stitches but I forget which one. Any advice on how to go about repairing it? Any links to general nalbinding repair stuff?

Much faster being thicker yarn and Oslo stitch. Proud of the tension though!

Not perfect, my first time not tensioning on my thumb and sometimes I got a bit confused. No pattern and probably a little bigger would have been better- they fit perfectly but no leeway. However if I had then I would have lost at yarn chicken. I have about three inches of the darker yarn left!

I’m pretty new to nalbinding, so please go easy on me! I used a bulky 85% wool 15% mohair blend to Nalbind a hat and cowl set! I’m very happy with the how they turned out.

I find it INCREDIBLY easy to lose stitches

But nonetheless I’m proud of my first ever piece made with homespun yarn

I learned to use a drop spindle years ago but never got round to plying the damn stuff. Then I learned this new craft where the fabric is really stable and you only use short lengths….

I don't like the "toothbrush needle" rug stitch that many people in the USA do. So I started a rug using oslo stitch and a nal. I LOVE it. And the tshirt material makes it nice and squishy to stand on. I can't wait to finish this for my bestie!

I was doing Oslo R2 stitches in a circle and needed to undo some in the middle, added stitches too fast, but now I'm trying to figure out how I'm supposed to redo the middle again. I thought I would be able to just do the normal stitches "in the other direction" but I've failed so far.

Any tips or instructional clips any of you could give me?

I was wondering if anyone has made those pouches like the ones made with Coptic/Tarim stitch which is yak now the cross knit pattern,the reason why I’m thing of making one is because I’ve seen some Nordic sweater patterns and I’m thinking that it might be a good idea to use when I comes to it,but I’m not sure if it would be made with a round start or simply make a chain of stitches and work like you normally do for mittens. Even if I make a round start,how many stitches do I need to make and how often should I increase? Lemme know if you have any suggestions.

Perhaps a silly question, but is it possible to crochet a starting chain and then nalbind from that, or is the nalbound chain structured differently and they don't mix like that?

Hello, lovely Nålbindlings! I have a probably stupid question for you.

Nålbinding is the first craft of the "knot yarn to make fabric" type that I've tried, and I've got comfy with a couple of stitches, made some very basic things and had a lot of fun. I'd like to take it to the next level, but it feels like a big jump for self-instruction. I know that patterns tend to be on the vague and improvise-y side by necessity, so I was wondering if taking a little detour into another similar craft that uses more structured patterns would help me ease in, both in learning how to follow patterns and also understanding how various objects "fit together" so it becomes easier to freehand/improvise my own patterns in nålbinding.

Does this make sense? Does anyone have opinions on what would make a good complement to nålbinding? Sorry if this is a silly question, it makes sense in my head but I can't quite get it into words.

With random second hand yarns, Russian joins and Oslo stitch, freehand. And it has a pocket inside!! I’m loving this, it’s even more anarchic than crochet 😏

And I’m ridiculously proud of myself, so in order to spare my family from having to admire it again, and with apologies for another post on the subject… my little gold pouch!

I think it’s going to be a pouch for my needles

Wasn't paying attention and just binded away a section i meant to attach

Experienced knitter here with no nalbinding experience whatsoever, just looking into it and curious:

It seems like spit splicing is the assumed method for joining new yarn, rather than other methods like the Russian join. I understand why you wouldn't really want to just drop the yarn, add a new one, and weave in the ends later, but if you wanted to nalbind with yarn that doesn't felt, is there a reason other techniques wouldn't work?
