Milk??? Hmmm, now I have heard of textiles made from the cellulose in
soy, but milk? I can't remember right now which product, but either
"Silk" soy milk, or "Vitasoy" has a little history of all the textile
stuff that Henry Ford tried to use soy for. Some of my spinner friends
don't particularly like spinning with soy silk, but then I suppose it is
all what you get used to and what you have access to.
Funny, when I tried to google on soy silk, I got this:

made of left-overs from the tofu manufacturing process. ... Blending 75%
Soy Silk with 25% fine wool adds memory and bounce while maintaining
...www.earthguild.com/products/spinning/spsoycor.htm - 4k -
But when I clicked on it, I couldn't find anything else about the
Inego.....I wonder how long it has been around? Bummer that it can
melt when it gets ironed...I wonder how bad it is....thanks for sharing!

I found the link in a friend's blog - fabric made from corn. Really!
There are knitting yarns made of this already, and yarns made of
milk. In, I believe, the 1880s, the new fiber was one made of wood
(Rayon).
