making fabric is woman’s work

but then there is NC State and perhaps the best of the textile schools. Then in the western part of the state there are thousands of acres being assaulted by Kudzu.

I have no recollection of kudzu fabric being a course when NC was blessed with so much of it. The ag department pushed Christmas trees as a crop when kudzu thrived in the exact same growing environment

This information suggests that there are much better materials for making fabric than kudzu. P.J. O’Rourke, in his study of Bangladesh, observed the same thing about jute.
