Leanne Soden designs jewelry that embraces centuries old chain making techniques. When weaving chain maille, each ring is opened, woven into place and closed by hand to form an almost seamless link. The Viking knitting is hand woven, one loop at a time. The Viking knit is a tubular knitting technique that produces a sturdy, flexible chain. The pieces are then tumbled for hours to polish, harden the metal and remove any rough pieces.
