Thank you for your understanding and continued support -Nalebinding is a fabric creation technique predating both knitting and crochet. Also known in English as "knotless netting," "knotless knitting “or” single needle knitting," the technique is distinct from crochet in that it involves passing the full length of the working thread through each loop, unlike crochet where the work is formed only of loops, never involving the free end. The method creates an elastic fabric using short lengths of yarn and a single-eyed needle that is often broad and flat. The stitches are commonly, but not invariably, gauged by wrapping them around the thumb. In its simplest form, the needle is passed through a seed loop to form a new loop, taking care to avoid tightening either into a firm knot. Our needles are made of good quality material and really stable, they can easily get through the fabric. These needles are great for stitching, sewing and crafting projects. And the oval eye is big enough that you can actually see to thread the needle.
