A common thread in the fibre arts community is the shared appreciation for creating something tangible, a piece that can be held and felt in contrast to our screen-dominant lives. Needlebound provides a space where fibre artists can share their stories and perspectives outside the influence of platform algorithms. Its name is an homage to the fifth-century craft of Nålebinding, a precursor to knitting and a social catalyst that brought artisans together to create, share stories, and build community.
