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:
