In about three weeks I'll be leading a workshop in making these sprang designs on a twill cloth. We'll be using a supplementary warp technique to float some warps over the fabric, then plaiting the warps. The stretchy fabric that results forms an interesting curved shape.
Participants can make a sampler, trying out different size, shape and placement of the motifs as well as various weave structures and even different yarns, or they can choose to repeat a pattern and create a scarf like this one.
To register for the workshop, you can visit this page at the Southern California Handweavers' Guild site.

"Bestla's Mantle" doup leno fabric
This is the fabric I ended up weaving for this project. I used a finer weft than in my sample, and added a little glitz. I used 16 shafts including the ones needed for the doup and standard heddles.
