Sprang has Sprung
Jul. 13th, 2015 05:50 pmSprang is an ancient textile method that produces really stretchy fabric.

I started learning how to do sprang the weekend just gone, at Smouldering Arrow (an archery training event that had some fibre geek attendees). It seemed easy enough at first, and I thought I was getting it, but I kept ending up with twisted pairs instead of fabric, and the wrong number of threads at the end of a row. Sometimes due to starting with the wrong number, sometimes because I'd skipped a thread mid row.
I was beginning to find that stressful, so I quit before I got too frustrated. But I bought a loom, so I hope I'll be doing more!
Now to start a sprang pinterest board...
