Could be and is more like you HAVE to use shorter strand for this technique, my wife is learning how to and have to cut the skein in shorter strand to nailbinding the hat she is making, the how short depend on the person, using this technique have some advantages apart to give an use to short strands, in case of a cut or hole in the fabric the nailbinding textile will not unmake itslef as could happen with a crochet or a knitting one, and is technically less demanding that the other forms, but is slower than knitting and less capable of make a tigth fabric like you could with crochetInteresting! The article points up being able to use shorter strands for this technique. I wonder if plays into using hand twisted threads vs longer wheel or distaff/spindle spun threads?
