Sprang for Viking bags - Braid-weaving another Hedeby Satchel [CC]
Another video, another experiment! This time I’m trying sprang, a braid-weaving technique with ancient roots in many corners of the world. Some people smarter than me suggest this is what those Hereby bags were made out of, so I had to try it for myself! There’s captions for some more information throughout the video, and some sources below if you want to know more about sprang and Hedeby/ Haithabu bags!
If you wish to support my endeavours, you can buy me a ’coffee’ at:
