www.facebook.com/share/p/1HLW... Hard to believe it has been 7 years since I was able to traveltothe Museum der Kulturen Basel. I posted a bit about our examinations of the slip stich crocheted sock that had been misinterpreted as nalbinding here: nalbound.com/2021/02/21/c... #nalbinding #museum

For today's Nalbound Object of the Week we have some true figural work out of Peru. This time it's a singular effigy figure, not a border of figures. And, it's a viscacha, which are so adorable! nalbound.com/2025/12/30/n... #nalbinding #Peru #SimpleLooping

As the holidays gear up, I find myself thinking of stockings...* So this week's Nalbound Object of the Week is a lovely example of Egyptian compound nalbinding. Ostensibly from the 4th century,** but its specific find location and strata was not recorded. nalbound.com/2025/12/23/n...

Today's Nalbound Object of the Week is hat/cap from the Cliff-Dweller culture in what is now Northeastern Arizona. The shoe-socks from this region are more well known, so I am happy to be able to include this cap in the series. nalbound.com/2025/11/18/n... #nalbinding #nalbound #nålbindning

If you are interested in the early blue & white knitted socks found in Egypt, the Museum der Kulturen Basel has put their collection online. As the search engine is a bit tricky as yet, I put together a blog post that includes them and a few from other institutions: nalbound.com/2025/11/04/b...

One of the absolute amazing moments on our trip to Sweden was seeing these two hand covers side by side. At the front, probably the most known #Nalbinding mitten, the Åsle mitten and at the back the Kalmar glove. (Yes, we also saw the Lödöse mitten, but in different museum). #CraftingScience 🧶

While I was in Sweden to examine some of their medieval nalbinding, I had the chance to sit down with Återskapat and my friends Nele and Ingela and have a good long chat about nalbinding. You can join us at the table here: aterskapat.libsyn.com/terskapat-10...

My presentation has been accepted. "Knee-length nalbound stockings from medieval Scandinavia: Two previously unexamined examples" will be in the DISTAFF & MEDATS sponsored session "For Dress and Textiles (1): Tools and Techniques" May 2025 International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, MI
