Last month I went on a course in Finland - Roots and Needles - where I learnt how to do Nalbinding and Sprang among other things. We used nylon stuff for the Sprang and paper string for the Nalbinding. Since I've been back home I've found instructions on the web for doing Nalbinding using the thumb as a tensioning device and have learnt how to do it that way too.
There's a photo of my sprang on my Flickr pages as well as some more of the craft that we covered - bobbin lace for basketry and macrame for basketry too.
We spent a lovely week in Taitoloma with very friendly hosts and course participants from Denmark and Norway and we all learnt a lot.
