What is Needlebound?
A common thread in the fibre arts community is the shared appreciation for creating something tangible, a piece that can be held and felt in contrast to our screen-dominant lives. Needlebound provides a space where fibre artists can share their stories and perspectives in a place that is not dominated through platform algorithms. It's name is an homage to the 5th century craft of Nålebinding, which was a precursor to knitting and served as a social catalyst, where artisans gathered to create, share stories, and foster community.
Needlebound didn’t arrive fully formed,it unraveled, rewound, and reassembled itself over time. If you’re curious about the origin story, the people involved in the production process, design direction, and all the messy in-betweens, you can read about it on Substack: Needlebound: A Loosely Woven Retrospective.
