Phyllis – I didn’t want to spend the money, so I made my own drawplate. I went to Home Depot and bought a piece of a scrap oak board (about 1″ thick and about 6″x8″)for less than a dollar. Then I went home and with my drill press, I drilled various holes of the following sizes: 1/2″, 3/8″, 1/4″, and 1/8″. Then I wrote the dimension just above each hole so I’d know next time what the measurement was. This allowed me to pull the viking knit through the varied sizes and worked excellently. Make sure you use hard wood like oak or rosewood, not pine.

Hi Phyllis — try Etsy for some viking knit drawplates; you should find a few there.

I’m only on my second piece of Viking Knit and found this information so helpful. Things I did not think of especially making sample chains!
Thank you.
