Marta Hoffmann schreibt dazu in "The Warp Weighted Loom":
...the fringed skirt from Egtved and the sprang stocking or sleeve from Tegle thus had the same type of starting border as a number of well-known textiles. The tablet-woven border at the lower edge of the stocking or sleeve must have been woven at the centre of the original piece. When the work was approaching this point, warps for two tablet bands must have been set up across the central part of the sprang warp to each side of the unworked threads. The warp threads were cut one at a time, and the two ends used as weft for the tablet-woven edges. This method agrees with that known from the lower edges of woven fabrics: the warp thread is taken through the band twice, first to the edge, and then back, so that the finishing edge is twise as thick as the starting edge. In woven fabrics, the ends are usually cut off close to the point where the band and the cloth met, but in sprang, which would easily unravel if the thread should work loose from the tablet-woven border, it seems that they were darned in and out of the threads in the border and back into the sprang, probably with a needle. In the Tegle piece, a number of ends that have become undone can be seen, and a few oblique stitches still remain."
In einer Fußnote schreibt sie zum Schären der Sprang-Kette:
"Modern experience shows that the woven starting border proves an unusually effective method of holding the ends and spacing them evenly. Ragnhild Trætteberg, who has made a copy of the sprang piece from Tegle, found that a boder of this type resulted in much better warping than the method in use today. In warping on the sprang-frame, she stretched the warp for the tablet-woven bands at the top and bottom of the frame, and the warp for the sprang itself was arranged by drawing a loop from a ball of yarn lying on the floor – in the manner employed by the Lapps when warping for a woven fabric – between the warp threads of the bands. At the lower edge, she slipped the loops over a cord.”
Die erwähnte Kordel , über die man die Schlaufen zieht, muß lose an der Unterkante des unteren Brettchenbandes mitgeführt werden und jedesmal durch die neue Schlaufe geführt werden. Beim Fachwechsel und Anschlagen muß man dann darauf achten, daß die Kordel sauber an die Kante des Brettchenbandes angezogen wird. Das muß ich auch mal probieren (im Winter, wenn ich Zeit habe...
