The Techniques of Sprang: Plaiting on Stretched Threads

Peter Collingwood

Synopsis:
A groundbreaking study published more than twenty years ago and long unavailable, this is the definitive work on sprang. For at least 3,500 years, this finger-controlled technique has been used when a stretch fabric was required, but its revival today is based mainly on its many decorative and structural possibilities. A practical book for those who want to learn and explore the technique, it also will be valued by textile students and researchers, especially for its notes on identifying sprang fabrics.
