I love this rugmaking technique for its simplicity and practicality.
Bohemian Braid AKA Nalbinding, (needle binding in Danish) it is an ancient form of knitting used for making rugs, hats, baskets and even pet beds. This simple knotting technique makes very functional rugs that are machine washable and useful anywhere in the house.

You will have the opportunity to add to the communal dye pot and take home your transformed yardage.
