Naalbinding mittens from Ribe in Denmark

Reconstruction of naalbinding mittens from Ribe

Rekonstrukcja naalbindingowych rękawic z Ribe

What is possible to see from pictures from Sydvestjyske Museum in Ribe, Denmark -2-ply yarn was used. After analysis of photo Im sure that it is Mammen stitch, so used it.

To, co udało mi się zaobserwować i wywnioskować ze zdjęć z Muzeum Sydvestjyske w Ribe w Danii- to fakt, że przędza jest dwojona. Po analizie fotografii i po kilku próbach jestem przekonana, że ścieg to Mammen, więc tak też zrobiłam rękawice.

Few days ago I finnished two pairs of Iceland naalbinding mittens reconstruction.
One pair is exact like originals from found in 1880 in Arneiðarstaðir, Fljótsdalhérad, east Iceland.

Original is 26 cm long [and 12 cm wide (Pálsson, 1895), made with oslo stitch, dyed probably with moss.

Here is what I made. Sheep fleece is spun on drop spindle, thread vegetal dyed, and naalbinding stitch the same also as original. I tried to make the same shape, so it is what happened:
