If you have any great sprang resources you'd like to share, please do and I'll keep a list in the description box! We could also try to make a playlist with sprang tutorials, if anyone has any favourite ones?
This looks like it would be perfect for those “fill a bag for $5” sales at my local thrift shop. It has that small unassuming look in the beginning but looks like it can expand and hold quite a lot of items!
WOW! When I was little, my mother had several grocery bags from Chile that , apparently, were made using this process. I used to stare at them and wonder how the little netting was made. THIS process did not occur to me. I pictured a long process of taking thread -- maybe with nail or peg separators, and individual threads were woven in and out. Thank you, you answered a 50 year old question!
Such fine yarn made a beautiful and delicate fabric. It’s the sort of bag that gets better with time I imagine as the leather strap becomes smoother with use. Your Dad did a great job with the handles and it’s lovely to have a shared input into this interesting project. Thank you for sharing this fascinating technique with us. 😘
Well-done, Juul! What a clever project! I would like very much to try this, myself, now, with some linen cord that I happen to have. The weave is so stretchy that it's perfect for a shopping or harvesting pouch. Or a forager's bag! Whee!!!
I was just thinking of reusable produce bags! A whole set of smaller ones maybe a foot long and maybe 6 inches wide in a bunch of different colors of cotton or linen!
Thank you for this video. One of the members of my spinners and weavers guild used to go on about sprang and I had no idea what it was - now I've a new technique I need to try. Your bag is really lovely and it's amazing how much stretch there is in the fabric - and I love that you only have to do half the work!
Thank you! The technique was done elegantly and the videography was elegant as well. I did attend a virtual lecture by Carol James and she is so fast! She also tends to use thicker threads. I really enjoyed watching you and feel so privileged to watch you make your bag.
I've been wanting to try sprang for years but have never seen any tutorials and have never found any books. I love the look and stretch of the fabric! I understand it is one of the earliest clothing textiles and was used for many layers and styles of clothing! It made great stockings and leggings and undergarments because it would conform easily to the body shape!
This is very pretty. I've tried sprang once and never figured out a way to permanently secure the center, so it was never finished. I love your solution and your finished bag. Beautiful colors
Love it! You picked yuch a big and wobbly project with such thin threads for your first, great work! We used to make smaller pieces with this technique in the kid's experimental archaeology group I was/am a member of and it was my favourite! I prefered the kind that makes diagonal diamond patterns and non-stretchy fabric, I always made mistakes in the stretchy one :D But few months back I searched for videos on the topic and found out there are possibilities for even very complex patterns in the stretchy sprang and was amazed! I need to try again soon :) We used the polish name "krosienka" for the technique, as I'm in Central Europe.
Thanks for telling me another name for the technique (I'm going to write that inside the book) I admit it was too large a project to start with 😅I might experiment with more stitches and make some smaller things in the future.
Tof om eens een echte presentatie van de techniek te zien. Tot nog toe had ik enkel een vlugge uitleg gekregen van mijn weefjuf en dit was alweer jaren geleden. Het zien helpt veel om het beter te begrijpen, merci!
That was very interesting! I've read about sprang (mostly in Handwerken Zonder Grenzen-magazine, also in Henriette Beukers "Rondom textiel deel 1", where a viking hairnet is shown in sprang technique, I think there is a pattern in one of the magazines as well) but had never seen it done! Bag turned out great, I love the colours.
Wow, you are a great worker bee! I am always happy when you post. Your videos are so unique that I don't think anyone minds that you take your time with your projects. I hope you had a good holiday season and best wishes in the NewYear.
Wow! It's beautiful and you have such patience for all that intricate weaving! I bet you could hold a lot in it because it stretches so much. Another fabulous project and video! Thank you! 😍
Добрый вечер. Скурпулезная работа, терпения вам не занимать.В начале видео были сомнения относительно результата, но не могла даже представить, что это будет похоже на древнюю версию авоськи) А то,чтобы в той же технике когда то изготавливали чулки или нечто такое, сложно представить).В любом случае, мне понравилось наблюдать за вашими золотыми ручками и понравилась сама сумочка( ручки сумки-💣💣)) Благодарю за то, что поделились !! 😍😍❤🌹🌹🌹
This is utterly fascinating. I think I once saw something slightly similar, on a much smaller scale done with leather. Ps. I love the color choices. Pps. It would make a lovely sewing or knitting bad.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much! I remember aaa teenager trying to figure out how to weave in a braided style and I just couldn’t figure it out, but this must be it. Amazing! The links are a big bonus!
This is an amazing piece of workmanship! I have been interested in weaving and this of course is in that field. I like how you used the handles so you didn't have to remove the threads. It looks to be a great bag for projects! Beautiful job!!
never knew of this, you lost me at the beginning🤣 I seriously doubt I have the patience I'd probably have anxiety attack! It's a beautiful bag, I'd put my crocheting in it, seems like it'll hold "a lot" of yarn😀
This satchel looks like it would be perfect at a farmer's market. Also, I am so curious about what other projects people used to make with this technique! It is so super fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
I have been fascinated with sprang weaving it’s another of the someday I will do that crafts. I am certain that my first project will be a small hairnet or something. But your bag is beautiful, I imagine that the stretch will come in handy for many things. 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
There's a sprang variant that comes out like weaving on the bias. Archaeologists are only now finding examples due to mirrored errors, It is also really stretchy. But next time I try it I need 2 of the save-me threads.
Being able to make a straight piece of fabric that acts like it’s on the bias would be _incredibly_ desirable for making hose. After all, cutting them out on the bias is really wasteful.
I've been thinking about the different results you could get, I might try out more 'stitches' another time! The 2 save-me-threads are a life saver indeed, especially when the width is so big that you can't hold it all in your hand.
Whoa, what a clever process. I'm a little nervous about how the handles stick to the leather as you're opening it, though - maybe add beeswax to the inside of the handles, and the outside of the leather? It will also help preserve both from water damage.
That's a beautiful and interesting technique - and your patience is admirable! Looks like you might not want to overload it with heavy stuff, though. Not because it couldn't hold the stuff, but because of the stretchiness - you might end up with a VERY. LONG. BAG. Still, it would be great as a knitting bag, as long as your needles can't escape. Or maybe the Inspector would like to move in to it?
It stretches a lot (A LOOOOT) in the width but not in lengthwise... I suspect it has a lot to do with the pattern repeat I chose and so it might be different if you use another combination. The inspector is not allowed near this bag now that it's done, because he likes eating threads too much.
Absolutely beautiful!!!! I think I'd want to make a lining for it, can see things like crochet hooks or other small items finding their way out.But very beautiful.
An inner pouch would probably work better; a lining would prevent the bag from stretching, which is the whole point of sprang. If you're just going to line it, you might as well just sew a bag of woven cloth. :-)
Oh la la !! Encore une vidéo très bien construite, avec un bel accompagnement musical et cette création demande une patience infinie que je n’ai pas 😄 ! Réutiliser le bois de chaises de jardin 👍🏻 ! Merci Juul pour ce moment de sérénité ! Bravo !! 🌸🌸🌸
So cool! Love the outcome. Sprang has been on my wishlist for decades. There were a few things that really boggled my mind as a kid, reading "handwerkboeken". Spinning, tatting with a spool, and sprang. Of those three, sprang still needs to be tried.
Looks beautiful and useful. Thank you for all of the resources too! Will definitely be adding this to my project list. Am curious about how to stabilize the work if it became necessary to put it up or out of the way for a few hours?
This was a fascinating project! I admire your patience and care. It looks really lovely. Do you have to be careful of what kinds of things you put in it?
Some of the threads did wear out in the weaving proces, so I'm a bit afraid of how much it will hold. Also, the holes are about as stretchy as the fabric itself, so thin and tiny things can fall out easily.
It's quite strong, but the holes stretch very easily. The threads did damage while I was braiding because it was such a long project, so I think that does diminish the strength a little.
wow! this is so cool and fun to watch you do! Sprang is definitely on my list of things i want to learn and try...but the books are so expensive (one day i will splurge!). do you also nålbind? i noticed your wooden needle. wonderful job on the bag!
Hi ☺️ looks so good! I've started doing sprang myself, but I'm having trouble with making the bottom of the bags, would you explain more on how you finish the bottom? 😊
There are a couple of methods, I used the crochet/knitting style finishing. Consider every thread in the middle of your work as a loop, and loop it through its neighbour. Start on one side and continue until you looped the whole width. You can use a crochet hook for this, but it feels like knitting to me. I tried an end through the last loop to keep it all in place.
I was knitting while watching, I had to stop to really pay attention! I've only heard about sprang before, never seen it done O___O It's seems like it could fit a ton of stuff - do you have thoughts on the stability already?

We used to have a hammock made with sprang and it also fascinated mini-Juul 😊
It turned out great! I admire your patience. And the handles are a great way of upcycling old chairs.
It's so cool to work with upcycled things 💜💜
Patience of a saint! Love the way it’s stretched sideways but not downwards. Another amazing video. Thank you Juul xx
I keep stretching it because it's such an unique fabric!

Ooh I love the color combination of the yarn!
You have done a wonderful job as usual. The old ways are good.
I kind of want to make a hairnet and try out some different 'stitches'/patterns, too!
Thank you for this video. One of the members of my spinners and weavers guild used to go on about sprang and I had no idea what it was - now I've a new technique I need to try.
Your bag is really lovely and it's amazing how much stretch there is in the fabric - and I love that you only have to do half the work!
After making this bag, I notice the mirror-braid every time I braid my hair 🤣
That's great I've not tried sprang and have not seen such a large item. Sally Pointers tutorials have inspired me and now yours. Thank you
Sally Pointer's work is so great to follow! I've seen her do hairnets, I kind of want to try that, too!
What a cool technique. The fabric could be used for so many different things. So sweet of your dad to make the handles. Thanks for sharing!
I'm so happy my dad helped me, the handles came out so great
Thank you! The technique was done elegantly and the videography was elegant as well. I did attend a virtual lecture by Carol James and she is so fast! She also tends to use thicker threads. I really enjoyed watching you and feel so privileged to watch you make your bag.
Wow ! You are a very talented, tenacious, and patient person ! Beautiful !!
Oh well done! Lovely and SO CLEAR in your commentary. Peaceful and beautifully produced. Thank you!
👏👏👏

Sally Pointer has sprang tutorials that use hedgerow sourced twine. I find her reconstructive archaeological creations refreshing
This is beautiful and must have seemed to take forever. Thank you for showing how you did it up close. I appreciate it greatly.
What a delightful bag.
Such elegant and meticulous work you do.
A lovely color choice, indeed.
I really like it with the rustic handles!
I'm in awe, I wouldn't have the patience even if the result is stunning.
It turned out just beautifully! No one would ever know this is your first time doing sprang. 💖💖💖
Thank you!
This is very pretty. I've tried sprang once and never figured out a way to permanently secure the center, so it was never finished. I love your solution and your finished bag. Beautiful colors
Wow that is fabulous! And stretches enough to get the weeks groceries in that 🤪 bonus..and it looks soooo fabulous. Well done you.
Your patience is very impressive
Lovely satchel and would be nice for carrying goodies from the farmer's market.
It would! (but it also holds yarn and chocolate 😋)
Never knew sprang would be so stretchy! The braiding is mesmerizing to watch!
Soooo stretchyyyy! It might be different with other pattern combinations, though!
I'd never heard of sprang. Thanks for the introduction!

I can't imagine who the hell figured out all those techniques. So cool, you make such interesting projects.
It's fascinating to try out old techniques and wonder about that!
Oh my! This is on project that I will never be able to do. I would lose count somewhere in the middle! Well done! It looks awesome!
In a simple pattern like this with rows that are the same all the time there is no counting involved, luckily!
Tof om eens een echte presentatie van de techniek te zien. Tot nog toe had ik enkel een vlugge uitleg gekregen van mijn weefjuf en dit was alweer jaren geleden. Het zien helpt veel om het beter te begrijpen, merci!
Het is super leuk om weven, kaartweven en dit te vergelijken!
That looks incredible and I am in awe of your skills
I love how you've gone whole hog on your first project, and how wonderful it came out! Such a great idea to use the bag handles as your loom.
Not sure what I was thinking with 1m10... go big or go home, probably 🤣
That's cool! And looks eminently practical, as well.
Juul, I always love your videos! You inspire me to try new things. Thank you for sharing your gifts!

I hope you do, it's fun!
Wow! It's beautiful and you have such patience for all that intricate weaving! I bet you could hold a lot in it because it stretches so much. Another fabulous project and video! Thank you! 😍
I wonder how much it would hold if I tried stuffing it with as much yarn as I could find... 😱
@@JuulThijssen I bet it would be a LOT! It could work double as a fluffy pillow. 😄
Beautifully done!
That is fascinating. It was really lovely and the handles were beautiful

You can do it!
Your tension looks so even. Beautiful accessory and, as always, thank you for kitty content.
Kitty says Meow Hello!
Jeez, you have patience! My eyes were crossing as you were knitting, weaving and braiding. It’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
I had patience, I used every last gram of it ;)
I love this bag and how stretchy the fabric is! Can't wait to make my own
Whoa, what a clever process. I'm a little nervous about how the handles stick to the leather as you're opening it, though - maybe add beeswax to the inside of the handles, and the outside of the leather? It will also help preserve both from water damage.
Beeswax is somewhat tacky, so another wax might be better.
I might swap out the shoulder straps, because I noticed the same: they don't work perfectly with the handles.
That's a beautiful and interesting technique - and your patience is admirable! Looks like you might not want to overload it with heavy stuff, though. Not because it couldn't hold the stuff, but because of the stretchiness - you might end up with a VERY. LONG. BAG. Still, it would be great as a knitting bag, as long as your needles can't escape.

It can’t stretch any further lengthwise. The maximum length is defined by the warp.

I love this!!! So much!! I always wondered how those string bags were made!!! Now I know just enough to be dangerous :D
Marvellous Marvellous Marvellous.
Beautiful and hand made I love it!

Grappig, dat boek heeft mijn moeder in de kast staan, ze heeft heel wat van die serie handwerkboeken.
Ik heb dat ook van mijn moeder! Komt precies uit zo'n tijd dat allerlei handwerk technieken weer populair werden, denk ik.
Awesome job.😊
So cool!
Love the outcome.
Sprang has been on my wishlist for decades. There were a few things that really boggled my mind as a kid, reading "handwerkboeken". Spinning, tatting with a spool, and sprang. Of those three, sprang still needs to be tried.
It's a cool technique and the basics are not hard, I hope you give it a try one day!
@@JuulThijssen Ooh, I will. Still got the handbooks. Would love to do some nice patterns in the work too. And your video sure is an incentive.
Looks like a great market or produce bag
So awesome 👌!!!!
Looks beautiful and useful. Thank you for all of the resources too! Will definitely be adding this to my project list. Am curious about how to stabilize the work if it became necessary to put it up or out of the way for a few hours?
As long as you have the lifeline secure, you can just unhook/untie it from the chair or the wall, fold it up a bit and put it away.
@@JuulThijssen thank you! Will definitely try soon. ☺️
BRILLIANT!!!!!!
This was a fascinating project! I admire your patience and care. It looks really lovely. Do you have to be careful of what kinds of things you put in it?

Excelente. Yo quiero aprender!
My goodness, that's a lot of effort, but it looks like a useful bag. The supervisor was interested, but did he approve?
Beautiful❤️❤️
Awesomeness!
Brilliant
That looks very complicated and tedious, well done.
great!
Oh wow, you have such patience! I don't think I'd ever manage that 😂 How strong is the fabric? it looks lacy and delicate!
It's quite strong, but the holes stretch very easily. The threads did damage while I was braiding because it was such a long project, so I think that does diminish the strength a little.
That looks amazing, I Don't think I've got the patience to do this kind of work at this time in my life though. Love the result, how long did it take?

Very cool! Did you have to bat the bottom side too?
A lovely piece, sorry if I missed it but how long did it take?
will you return with more videos?
