Sprang by Comb and War Shirt

Interesting links

I also found the "war shirt" article very interesting. It looks like a finger
knitted coat, no loom and no knitting needles.

And translate to english Senzeme main page: http://tinyurl.com/Senzeme

I used Google Translate to convert from Latvian language.
Have a good day!

Thanx for the link. Sprang on a comb is fascinating. Tho I wonder how springy it's likely to be without being under tension.
