I love learning about different materials to spin &amp; weave with but never even thought about anything like that. Women in other countries sometimes use materials out of neccesity I guess &amp; they do it so beautifully. I love Spin-off so much for all the info it gives. Never would have thought about a material like that.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.spinningdaily.com/forums/thread/5846.aspxSun, 19 Dec 2010 18:15:04 GMT2fe8c464-605a-4576-8c35-cf81d693d56d:5846mieke harinck0http://www.spinningdaily.com/forums/thread/5846.aspxhttp://www.spinningdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=36&PostID=5846<p>the whole family thanks Lina Ligon for learning us a new word &#39;indumentum&#39;. if you want to do more research maybe this two links may be of some help :</p> <p><a href="http://www.chazen.wisc.edu/shop/book_detail.asp?id=139">http://www.chazen.wisc.edu/shop/book_detail.asp?id=139</a></p> <p>the author, Tomoko&nbsp;Torimaru, has written two books on textiles of Miao. maybe she knows more about the fiber-plant.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hawaii.edu/artgallery/writingwiththread/en/Chinese-threads-en-05.html">http://www.hawaii.edu/artgallery/writingwiththread/en/Chinese-threads-en-05.html</a></p> <p>greetings from a snowy belgium, mieke</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
