Memorial Bench to Peter King

Made by Simon Langsdale

The carving on this bench was commissioned to commemorate Peter King, who was a prominent inhabitant of the beautiful North Essex town of Thaxted. The legend “Thaxted is the hub of the universe” were words that Peter said to Princess Anne when she visited the town, and were deeply felt and believed by Peter. The building in the low relief carving is Thaxted’s Medieval Guild Hall, while Jupiter is included to acknowledge the period that the composer Gustav Holst lived in Thaxted and was a favourite piece of music for Peter.

This hat has been created with love, time and ancient craft skill of nalbinding.
Nalbinded witha single bone needle,it will last a life time, in quality sheep wool.

Nalbinding is a created by using a single bone needle.
Also known in English as “knotless netting,single needle knitting.”

The technique is distinct from crochet in that it involves passing the full length of the working thread through each loop.

It also differs from knitting in that lengths must be pieced together during the process of nålebinding, rather than a continuous strand of yarn that can easily be pulled out.
Nålbinding will not unravel even when cut.

The unique stitching created a lovely chunky ribbed effect inside, which is insulating. The wool has a natural ability to be multi-climatic. Plus it is Ecofriendly and contains no Plastic..
