Carol James has been playing with strings for a long time. In the mid 1990s she was introduced to sprang. She is now a world-recognized teacher.
She has spent the past 20 years rediscovering textile forms that had been considered lost. Resurrecting these ancient techniques and making them accessible to everyone through her publications, books and workshops, Carol believes that textile creation is part of our human heritage.
Textile is an amalgamation of threads interconnecting with each other, just as humans work together in order to create the fabric of society. The method used to create fabric in disparate communities around the world is often quite similar. The construction off fabric is a common language of humans. Woven together we are stronger.

First try-out with a home made frame.
While doing I know now that I made it too complicated :)

dividing the yarns in upper and lower row

twisting the upper and lower yarns (in 2 different ways)

The cord in the middle is necessary to keep the twists

I need more practise...

Is it possible making sprang the same way as this play ?
