Description

We’ll focus on learning to start your project and learn the Oslo stitch. This technique forms a flexible yet solid textile, formed of interlocking-loops. You’ll have plenty of time to practice and learn to adjust how you hold your needle and materials to obtain an even tension. You will learn how to increase and decrease stitches.

By the end of the day you’ll have a small pouch or the beginnings of a hat.

Materials will be provided and you will take home your own Nalbinding needle and wool to finish your project.

Allergy notice: Animal fibers are used in this class. If you are allergic to a specific fiber, please let us know.
