In intertwined sprang, pairs of threads twine around each other, moving diagonally to create a sturdy cloth.
Intertwining is a common structure in ancient Peruvian textiles, but is rarely seen in the European textile record.

Basic Intertwining
In basic intertwining, two pairs of threads cross and twine around each other at each intersection. The twining can occur around the top thread or bottom thread of each pair, or with one pair hidden between the other pair, providing numerous design possibilities.
Intertwined Lace
Intertwining can be combined with twisted threads to create intertwined lace.
