Sprang Weaving

I know that I have talked about last month's Fiberuary a bit already, but I want to go out of my way to talk about one part of it that I particularly enjoyed- the classes on sprang weaving. Here is a link to a Wikipedia page about sprang, if you have no idea what I'm talking about. 

I took the Beginning Sprang Pt. 1 and Pt. 2 classes, and I'm planning to watch the video for Intermediate Sprang that the same teacher taught. I really liked it, and it went super fast once I got the hang of it! By the way, the classes are on YouTube for FREE for a limited time only!

In Beginning Sprang Pt 1, which you can find here until April 1, I learned how to warp my loom, which I constructed out of an embroidery frame and some dowels. Here is what it looked like when I was done:

In Beginning Sprang Pt. 2, which you can find here until April 1, we learned how to weave and created a small bag. Here is my bag, which I will use to hold spinning accessories on my wheel: 

I really enjoyed this! I'm looking forward to watching the Intermediate Sprang class, which is all about interlacing and twills. The class teaches you to make a bracelet. You can watch it here until April 1. 

If you're interested in learning more about Sprang, here are some resources that I'm looking forward to reading/watching, but haven't gotten to yet: 

This blog post from The Sojourning Spinner.

There are some free (and paid) patterns and a gallery of finished items at spranglady.com.

Here is a PDF with a pattern for a bag and tons of other information. 

Here is another good article from stringpage.com. 

There are a ton of sprang weaving videos on YouTube here. 

*Please note: none of this material is mine, I'm just sharing things I've found on the internet through a basic Google search. 

So, if you're in the mood to try something new, I highly recommend some basic sprang! Good luck, and happy crafting!
