Spiderweb Silk
Spiders spin webs with a stretchy material that's stronger than
steel and far more flexible. But attempts to use the creepy crawlers
for making fabrics have had little success — until now. This
year British textiles expert Simon Peers and American fashion designer
Nicholas Godley unveiled an 11-ft.-long (3.4 m) spider-silk cloth
made in Madagascar. Creating it wasn't easy. Each day 70 people
collected thousands of golden orb spiders. Workers carefully spooled
out the saffron-hued filament from each spider before releasing
it. All told, the feat took four years, half a million dollars and
more than a million spiders — and, yes, they sometimes bite.
