This precursor to both crochet and knitting uses a single needle (wide and flat with a large eye) and a distinct stitching pattern. It can be difficult to distinguish from a usual knot or crochet, further muddying the waters of when modern needlework emerged.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical evidence dates nalbinding as at least 8000 years old.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oldest known textile made with a simple nalbinding technique was unearthed in Nehal Hemar cave in Israel, and fragments found in Denmark are around 6000 years old.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newer nalbinding clothing was discovered <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/arts-culture\/taking-a-closer-look-at-an-odd-pair-of-very-very-old-socks-84123314\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in Egypt<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Peru and is thought to be 1500 to 2000 years old.
