They certainly do come up with interesting ideas. We were just watching something on Netflix where they showed goats that had some spider DNA encoded into them. They take the goat's milk, and extract spider silk protein and make that into fiber. It's very strong and lightweight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothingtextiles-made-from-sour-milk#post-395712 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 18:53:38 +0000 Patty 395712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great story Kari!!<br /> Anke Domaske is a win win win win kinda lady!----entrepreneurial, innovative using a spoiled and otherwise waste product, hugely positive role model in fashion and science and business!</p> <p>First thing I thought about too was old sippy cup milk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothingtextiles-made-from-sour-milk#post-395621 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:02:06 +0000 Mo 395621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, my first thought was odor, too! I love that they keep coming up with alternative natural fibers. I love modal/bamboo and don't know what I did without it 10 years ago. I choose it over similar feeling rayon blends whenever possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothingtextiles-made-from-sour-milk#post-395606 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 16:49:05 +0000 Lisa 395606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothingtextiles-made-from-sour-milk#post-395383 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 06:04:34 +0000 taylor 395383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What will they think of next ...fascintaing...I cannot tolerate the smell of sour milk...I know these don't have an Oder...I hope!:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothingtextiles-made-from-sour-milk#post-395380 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 05:56:17 +0000 Kari 395380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm curious about that too, April. Maybe someday they'll be available in stores in the US for us to see in person.</p> <p>Lynne, I also have a bamboo fiber knit top. It's a rose-colored cowl neck that is completely soft and comfortable. I'd never have believed it was not soft cotton! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothingtextiles-made-from-sour-milk#post-394813 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 10:18:56 +0000 Lynne 394813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow - amazing! I have a few things that are made with Bamboo fibre rather than cotton, and they're lovely. But milk protiens? Who knew! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothingtextiles-made-from-sour-milk#post-394810 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 10:09:53 +0000 April 394810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, some lovely items on their site! I wonder if their fabric has any special properties, like the HeatTech fabric that is also coated with a milk protein and keeps you warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothingtextiles-made-from-sour-milk#post-394801 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 07:40:39 +0000 Kari 394801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I caught a radio interview with fashion designer and biologist Anke Domaske the other day talking about her fashion designs, which are made from a fabric that she and her team designed that is primarily composed of a protein from sour milk. (Apparently, the finished product has a texture/feel very similar to silk. It looks beautiful from what I can see from the video.)<br /> I found it absolutely fascinating and couldn't resist sharing, even though I probably should have waited for the weekly link roundup.</p> <p>Here's a video and article that talk a bit more about it:<br /> <a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2011/07/these-clothes-a-1.php" rel="nofollow">http://dvice.com/archives/2011.....es-a-1.php</a></p> <p>And the website for the brand: <a href="http://www.mademoisellechichi.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mademoisellechichi.com</a> </p>
