I have been interested in trying to make tights from sprang ever since I read the article on Tight-Fitting Clothes in Antiquity – Experimental Reconstruction by Dagmar Drinkler, which appeared in issue #49 of the Archaeological Textiles Newsletter, but, since I haven't been able to get a copy of Collingwood's book on sprang I haven't really made the time to experiment with it. However, today I saw a link to a blog of someone who does sprang, and she has two blog posts of serious interest. One onher first pair of sprang pants, and one on her second pair. How wonderful today's world is, where I can learn from the attempts others have made on projects I want to do for myself.

And she even links to a pdf by Dagmar Drinkler which has way more photos than the above mentioned article. Will need to make time for this interest...
