Sprang headwear was made in a variety of styles using either two-ply wool or linen yarn or a combination of threads of the two fibres. This fragment of striped blue and burgundy wool sprang is said to have been found at Hawara. Hawara is an archaeological site of Ancient Egypt, south of the site of Crocodilopolis (Arsinoe) at the entrance to the depression of the Fayum oasis. William Flinders Petrie, the father of English Egyptology, excavated at Hawara in 1888 and 1889, where he discovered cemeteries that had been used from the Ptolemaic period until at least the sixth century AD.
