What is sprang?
|
Sprang is an ancient textile method, worked on a set of threads that have been arranged on a frame. Every row of work yields two rows of cloth. To better understand, watch the demonstration video.
Sprang generally requires some sort of frame. See below the list of options to build or purchase a frame that will suit your needs.

Inspired by the wide variety of garments in the historic record, Carol has created a number of garments. These range from headcoverings (bonnets), to foot coverings (socks) and everything in-between, vests, leggings, mittens and more. To view the gallery of garments/art..., click here.
