Nalbinding Workshop at Haddon Hall

Brand new for 2025, we are delighted to welcome the experts at Woodland Ways to lead a Nalbinding Workshop in the Tudor Stables Studio at Haddon Hall.

On this full day heritage craft workshop you will create a beanie hat, perfectly fitted to you, using the ancient Scandinavian technique of Nalbinding, a craft that pre-dates knitting and crochet. Nalbinding involves using a single needle to create a fabric from short lengths of natural wool, resulting in dense, warm items that don’t unravel in the way that knitted items can. The Haddon Estate, and indeed the Peak District, has long had an association with wool, and we are delighted to continue to protect and preserve these heritage crafts.

All tuition, materials and equipment will be provided and everyone will go home with a finished item.

This workshop is suitable for all abilities and for everyone over the age of 18. No previous experience is required.
