11th Century Finnish Dress

Inmysecondyearofnaalbinding,Ihave
continuedtochallengemyselfwithnew
stitches and new applications for this
craftthatIenjoysomuch.Ihavecontin

Afterlastyear’scompetition,Iaskedmy
sponsor, HL Marcella the Unknown,
whatshesuggestedforthisyearandher
responsewas"DoVikingagain,onlydo
itbetter".Withthatencouragement,and
myowndrive,Istartedlookingforabet

The very nature of the art, worked

examples have been found throughout the
world, but the art itself is most commonly
associatedwithVikingCulture.
There are over 30 naalbinding stitches that
havebeenidentified.Throughoutthispro
ject, I choose to represent three different
stitches that are most commonly found in
Finlandandsurroundingareas.Mysocksare

the Suomeksi Stitch as decoration on my
Peplos Overdress. The "spiral ornamenta

naalbinding.
