I know it's naalbinding/nalbinding but did not know what the Coptics called
it so I did not want to call it naalbinding. I guess I could have said a
form of needle knitting that the Scandinavians refer to as naalbinding :)

It's called naalbinding, and is almost identical to knitting except that
it's done with a threaded needle.  The thread follows almost the same
path as it does in knitting, except that the worker has to thread a new
needle every once in a while.
