The idea strikes me as a sort of mad scientist thing, but I gotta admit the finished tapestry is pretty nifty looking.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Golden Orb Weavers may make a pretty tapestry, but I'm still reaching for the Raid if they get within 30 feet of me.

They invested half a million dollars in this. It will be interesting to see if they can sell it for a profit.
For the man or woman who has everything, I guess.

I don't buy this story. I bet they go the silk from one of those goats that are spitting out the same spider silk proteins. They have not been able to make the silk as strong as real spiders silk.
making the goats silk into a rug would be a logical use of this stuff.

I think Spider silk holds the record as the strongest filament there is.
