DESCRIPTION:
Viking knit is the ancient art found in Scandinavian gravesites. Sections found were used as adornment, trade and a form of money. Wire is weaved around a dowel and then pulled through a drawplate to create a beautiful bracelet section to finish or use as a bead. Many applications can be used to utilize this technique.
Learn the ancient art of VIKING KNIT and create a beautiful bracelet.
