greetings from a snowy belgium, mieke
I thought that was so interesting!! I love learning about different materials to spin & weave with but never even thought about anything like that. Women in other countries sometimes use materials out of neccesity I guess & 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.
