I first got into sprang when I realized that the hand motions were very similar to the oblique version of Native fingerweaving. Now I have learned a bit about circular warps and tension mechanisms. I have also seen some evidence to suggest that the 18th Century Eastern Woodlands Natives and early Norse had this technique in common.

My latest attempt at a sprang hairnet. The yarn is light gray rug wool. This, along with documentation by Lady Juliana, was a group entry for Fairmont Fiber Freaks in the 2006 Ice Dragon Pentathalon. Rumor has it that this was the first piece of sprang ever entered in the Ice Dragon Pentathlon.
