Needlebinding needle, bone, approx. 6cm
Needlebinding needle, bone, approx. 6cm
Nålbinding is one of the oldest known textile techniques, having been used as early as the Bronze Age – long before knitting became widespread.
These handmade nålbinding needles, made from polished bone, are specially designed for this traditional technique. The smooth surface allows the yarn to glide exceptionally well, enabling comfortable and neat work.
Unchanged for centuries – a tool that brings history to life.
The shape is based on historical finds and typical Roman decorative elements, yet remains deliberately simple to be versatile. This makes the needles suitable for portrayals from the Iron Age to the Middle Ages.
Authentic, functional, and proven in practical use to this day.
Whether for reenactment, handicrafts, or historical experimentation – these needles ideally combine tradition and functionality.
