I found a Grå Nisse sweater at a thrift store about 15 years ago but it was too small for my girls. I finally got around to reclaiming the wool from it. The sweater was worked with triple yarn which I split and nalbound this cowl: Stitch used: Oslo, F1 🧶 #recycle #reuse #nalbinding #craftsky

The cat was right! There was enough red left for an iPhone-sized pouch. I made a circle-bottom pouch with the blue and there’s enough left to accent another project. These are also nalbound in the Oslo, F2 stitch. 🧶 #Nalbinding #handspun #pouch #dicebag #craftsky #wool #fiberart #handcraft

The red skein worked up beautifully! 😍 The wool is itchy, so I decided to nalbound a pouch with it. I used the Oslo, F2 stitch and it looks like bricks. 🧶 My cat snuck in for the photo and informs that I should be able to get another pouch out of it. 👍 #Nalbinding #handspun #dicebag #craftsky

A brick colored nalbound pouch with a round base and square fold. There is a bone needle next to it and a small ball of leftover yarn.

It’s so satisfying to see it all spun up! 🧶 I spun the grey today but thought it needed a bit of life, so I tossed in some touches of green and blues. I’m quite happy with the result! 👍 #satisfaction #spinning #dropspindle #carding #wool #fiber #treasure #handspun #SpinnersOfBlueSky #CraftSky 🧶

Would you live here? Gudvangen is a deep valley in Norway and there isn’t much space for houses. The houses are built as close to the mountains as they can get. This house has active avalanches on both sides of it, but the location is stunning! #winter #terrain #location #roomwithaview #living

A small, red, house is built between two active avalanches in Norway.

Nalbinding is an excellent for scrap yarn because it uses shorter lengths of yarn. 😍 I nalbound these with my leftover Vams yarn in the Dalarna stitch. 🧶 🪡 #ScrapAlong2025 #scrapyarn #rauma #needlebinding #leftover #leftoveryarn #useitall #wastenot #wristwarmers #wool #craftsky #fiber #accessories
