Did you say you are using the "dolby" stitch? I have not heard of this stitch. Do you have a vidio of how its done?

this is the first technique i was able to successfully accomplish thank you!

Just getting into nalbinding, this is the most descriptive video yet. Thank you Soo much 😊

Very clear to see string. And the pinch method helps. But I still find myself going through a wrong loop and getting an out of place stitch. Is this just a matter of practice? It is so difficult to see on plain yarn

I think from my experience with Müsen stitch,is the connection stitch is N2 LtR,and M1 LtR is possibly Kaukola Kekomäki apparently. Maybe you can try the M1+F1 which could be the Kaukola stitch however it’s unknown if it’s Finnish 2+2 or Mammen or something similar. But the M1+F1 from westmans book is called variant G.

Very helpful, thanks!

With the needle tension method, how do you do the second row/round?

Im going to try this! Ive tried knotting acrylic yarn, but its just so cumbersome or my stitches get all messed up. Im going to give this vwrsion a shot!

How do you make the second row?

That is a fantastic yarn for showing the stitches, with the color changes.

very easy to understand and well explained video , thank you for sharing

“Got a little bit of a knot”. Thank God for fingernails!

Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I just started nalbinding, and this helped me figure out the joining!

Your videos are extraordinarily well done. I have learned so much. And thank you so much for doing left handed version's. They are almost impossible to find elsewhere. Am just about to join my mammen chain as you teach in this video. I really am grateful for your work.

Thanks Anne'I finaly understand this textil art.

Thank you very much for the tip!

Excellent, very clear explanation, thank you 😊

Ah, so you slash the second stitch though the first one. Edit, slash and left turn the stitch.

This is good to know. I had no idea u could splice synthetic yarn like this. Wool and alpaca is starting to get really expensive now days. Thxs for the demo.

Mm. Have been wondering about this, too. It's sometimes obvious when a piece of "needlebound"(new word, too) fabric is misidentified as "an early knitting technique". But some of the basket weaves, some of the shawl finds, and so on, also seem eagerly misidentified as having to have been employing what we now call "needlebinding". Another problem seems to be, like you mention, that something is identified and placed to a specific time because it looks like needlebinding, and then another time (the usual split happens between 900-1000 or so as the invention of knitting, basically - which is as dubious as suggesting that long, continuous threads weren't invented until that point in time, etc.). The Tybrind Vig finds in Denmark, for example, may very well have been done with needles and looping techniques. And they clearly had the techniques to make fabric. But did they? Rather than using a loom, or using looping techniques with pickups? Like in every other field, really, the generalisations about what sort of techniques were used, or at which specific point in time something was invented is often much more problematic than we think. As an example, there is a find of writing in the city-museum downtown that someone happened on - it's from the 1200s, long after latin letters would be commonly used. But it's got greek-inspired handwriting, next to latin letters... and then there's runes on the side, just to make sure. It's not put there as a historical document, it's just a trivial receipt of an inventory in one case, and a sample of someone learning to write in another. So in the 1200s, these guys were rediscovering their norse roots, and using runes because they were cool. While the old guys were writing latin with greek-style handwriting. While the common usage of writing was latin letters. So our finds from the 1200, that actually can be dated in this case because of a city-fire leveling the whole thing and preserving tattered bits and pieces from the same period -- they were already reinventing latin and greek, as well as runic norse, long after the "period" that any of these things belong in, according to "the historical record". And where there isn't an obvious link connecting the greeks to norse settlements. In the same way, our contextual clues now are helping us rediscover needle-binding techniques - but not recreating what was probably also reinventions to some extent. So "the ancients" are, by virtue of just being people like us, romanticising the past and the present according to need, "tricking" us to classify finds to wrong periods. It's very fascinating, and it's an effect everyone should be aware of in any discipline, whether it's trying to interpret old texts by way of assumed contextual cultural information, or if it's identifying fabric-samples. It's really exactly the same issue.

Lovely, clear video.

This is great, i learning nalbinding and practiced many years ago but since then am a strict vegan and gave up using wool products, I will give this a try, I still have my lovely homemade needle

Thanks! I will try the tension by eye (notation) method on my next wire ring. 🙂

This is beautiful! I love the color & sheen. What is the brand & name of the yarn you're using?

I was also looking for a right-handed version of this video :)

Love this!

When I tension to the needle I usually start the stitch with the loop on my thumb (so the motion of making the stitch is the same as "usual" and I am not working it flat) and then I slip my thumb out of the loop and tighten it to the needle before pulling the needle through. Fun to see you can do it in several ways!

Thanks for the tip as I cannot afford wool yarn.

This is incredibly helpful, thank you!

I can see where this works well with a singles or very lightly spun yarn, not so much for plied yarns though. Thanks for a very clear vidio of this technique and the example of nalbinding.

You make it look so easy 😂

Brilliant, thank you 😊

Thank you SO much! Keep those great instructional videos coming!

Very good instructions!

Fabulous!

Wow! That was the best video I have seen. Often the back of the thumb is not as clearly shown.

Very easy to follow, thank you

Best tutorial I've found to date! It's been a tangled mess trying to learn this right handed (I'm left handed). Is there any way you could show how to make a square or triangle? Thanks 😊

Best videos for nalbinding that I have seen so far. Most videos don’t give enough detail to allow you to learn to “read” your work. When I teach knitting that is the first thing I try to explain since you really need to know how to see your mistakes. If you don’t know what it’t supposed to look like how will you know you have done it correctly? THANKS!

Can you do this stitch in right handed version? btw,it's the most common type used in Finland.

Nalbinding is to textiles as quantum physics is to science! Brava to you, Anne, for your serious research on this textile technique.
