Was this hat knitted? Or made with nalbinding?

It was knitted.

Kevin Olson wrote:In the second video above, he mentions knotting the short lengths together. It is my understanding that a "spit splice" was commonly employed for woolen goods made by nail binding (basically, felting the frayed ends together, with saliva or otherwise), which didn't result in the textural additions to the finished article occasioned by a bazillion knots. Other fibers (cotton and linen) probably would require knotting, unless some analogous and more labor intensive long splice were to be used, since they don't felt the same as wool. ..

I've never tried nalbinding. Do you know if there are any length/shape/width/thickness of the needle parameters you'd suggest for a total newbie?M Broussard wrote:I'd encourage anyone who's keen to make a nalbinding needle to give it a go! I've made heaps by carving wood and bone.
No shortage of Ivy around my home. I think that would be a better first choice for me than bone. Thank you for the suggestion!Ivy is actually a great wood to make nalbinding needles from as it's quite strong and resistant to checking. The shiny wooden needle with a large eye is ivy. Most of the rest are gorse or scotch broom. The bone ones are made from deer bone from a hunter friend of mine.

Does the fabric you will be nalbinding with affect that choice, or the stitch you plan on using?

I read (somewhere...?) that looping predates what we now call 'nålbinding', 'nålebinding', or 'needle binding', but I know sometimes meanings of words get changed over both time and ocean crossings.

Carla Burke wrote:Thank you, Inge! That makes sense - so looping is nålbindin g, but nålbinding is the umbrella type name. Sometimes, it really is difficult to get a full understanding, even in this ETA of information - from these distances. It's nice to find help across time lines and oceans!

Carla Burke wrote:My wooden ones, on the other hand, vary even more, in length, girth, and shape. They're nice to touch, and sanded well - but still drag more than is comfortable, and cause me to need a firmer grip, to use them. That firmer grip means my hands tire and ache MUCH faster, so I tend to reject them. The biggest of the bunch is one I'd likely use more for larger netting projects, and the curved one, I think would be amazing, in bone or horn, but just ISN'T, in this wood. At least not as it is. I'm not sure what type of wood is made of - I'm pretty sure they were all laser cut, but I've decided I'm going to take all my wooden ones, and see if they'll sand out any smoother, and maybe polish them with wood conditioner, then warm them to soak it in, then leather/ rinse/ repeat, until I get the smoothness I'm looking for with no residue that could mess up my wool.
Of course, these are my novice experiences and thoughts. If anyone can point me in a better direction, I'm all ears!

The needle-binding I do is all only the 'simple looping' that was already used in the Stone Age.
There are some video-tutorials by Donna Kallner (she calls it 'new age looping'), like this one:
Sally Pointer has some very interesting and fun videos on it too (and on many other prehistoric techniques):

Something I'm noticing though, is that- at least for me - there seems to be a fine line between too much drag, and too smooth. The horn one is so dang smooth - like glass - that I struggle to hang onto it. But, the new bone one is perfect. The longer length of the needles also makes it easier, for my crippled up hands to maneuver. With the horn one, not only is it hard to hang onto, but it's so short, I kept jabbing myself in the web between my thumb and palm, instead of being able to maneuver it past there.
