Amazing New Textile

We are all for natural fibers, but this is one you might not expect. For many years researcher have been working to develop a fiber using spider silk. This might seem strange, but really, so is conventional silk- it comes from moths.

So there was much excitement when this new cloth was unveiled last month. Check out the info and watch the video from the American Museum of Natural History.
