This is the part I've been having the most fun learning about. "What structures and textures can my fingers create?" "How can I combine those structures into a larger piece of cloth?"

​Interlinking

---

In interlinked sprang the threads twist around their neighbors forming a structure similar to a chain-link fence. Except this chain link fence stretches... a lot. When relaxed, the rows lie next to each other and the fabric appears solid, but when stretched the linked structure becomes visible.
​
This basic structure allows for many variations, including lace and surface design.

​Interlacing

---

In interlaced sprang, the threads move diagonally, forming a woven structure.

Fabric ranges from a loose weave to a tight twill.

​Intertwining

In intertwined sprang, pairs of threads twist around each other and move diagonally, creating a textured surface.

Some structures are an open series of ridges and holes, while others create a more solid fabric.

Double Cloth

To make double cloth, two sets of threads are worked simultaneously to make a wide variety of patterns with inverse images on front and back.
