	=== What you need ===		== What you need ==

	For this technique, you'll need a largish, preferably blunt, [[needle]], and whatever yarn you like--preferably [[wool]]. Naalbinding is worked by pulling the entire length of the yarn through every stitch, so you need to work with shorter pieces; about 18 inches (40 cm) is good, although some experts work with lengths of 3m (beginner's don't try this at home). Additional lengths of yarn can be joined by a variety of techniques - splicing is a traditional favourite for many wools, techniques for binding ends together or weave their ends in tend to be used for yarns that refuse to splice. Whatever works.		For this technique, you'll need a largish, preferably blunt, [[needle]], and whatever yarn you like--preferably [[wool]].
