Wool socks made by nålbinding, after the 9th c Viking Coppergate sock
Nålbinding is a technique of knotting yarn into a flexible and durable fabric for socks, mittens and hats. Most surviving northern European nålbinded clothing accessories date from the Viking and early medieval era, (9th -12th century) and are concentrated in the Scandinavian countries and in Viking expansion era sites like Yorvik.
