Description

Step back into the world of Viking and medieval craftsmanship with this Viking Bone Needle Embroidery Tool Set. Hand-carved from genuine ox bone, each needle is polished smooth for durability and ease of use, echoing the very tools relied upon by Norse women, medieval seamstresses, and Roman artisans.

Measuring approx. 7 cm (2.7 in) with a 7 mm eye and 1.8 mm thickness, these needles are perfect for a range of tasks—whether you’re practicing the ancient art of Nålebinding, repairing period clothing, or adding authenticity to your historical kit. Their natural smoothness ensures that they pass easily through linen, wool, hemp, or leather, making them invaluable for both textile crafts and practical sewing.
