i love your videos, but i'm still perplexed about how to thred and hold the yarn the way you do? please advise.

[pittyommen]

I zigzag-fold my yarn so I can pull out by hand as needed like this: workpiece_/\/end of yarn so I can pull out as much as needed and the loop gets smaller on the far side of the needle...then I pull on the fa loop to pull out material from the piece-closer-loop to level with end of yarn and start as needed again8 was that understandable enough?)

[pittyommen]

thank you for your nice words! I really appreciate it

makes me wanna do more of them ;) working on a mammen/korgen video right now

Hi Kaylaza, thanks for your praise ;)

if you google pittyom, you might find other videos I posted at "MyVideo" too. I am fascinated by old crafts and when I read about it (while I tried to teach myself to spin) I searched the Internet a lot and found sites and groups about nalbinding. that got me more curious and I started it. obviously you choose the same way - happy needling :))))

This is amazing. Thank you very much. In my view video's the only way to understand this demanding-to-understand technic:-D

[pittyommen]

thanks for your comment. Exactly that is, why I make those videos: I myself learn better by watching it done than by looking at photographs. drawn pictures are still better than photographs, but after I learned the first stitch by drawings (no thumb method)and then learned other stitches with Bernhard Dankbar's help by watching him doing it, I decided to do the videos. first to help myself remember the stitches, second and now more important to help others that are not getting help by others

this yarn was a bought one (shame on me ;) ) but I mostly spin on a wheel and then do a 3 ply. I splice it with the needle, then lay the ends into ea other, chew it and felt it by rubbing the ends between my hands

[HowToHistory]

This is a great video because it addresses a number of nalbinding facets. I notice you use what some folks call a "spit splice" to join. For single ply yarn, have you used a drop spindle to make the splice?

Your video is the Best! I have been trying instructions I had printed out and other videos, but just couldn't seem to get the beginning steps down.  Yours is a great close-up and very easy to follow. Thanks Much !!

It's always nice to learn new tecniques, and this one I had never tried before.

This video is well made, and even if I couldn't nalbind before, I could learn from it.
