Hi Jeri and everyone

Thankyou for the interesting links.
This caught my eye:

>
> Does anyone on our international list know about Sea Silk?


...because I have just purchased some lovely dyed knitting yarn called 'Sea
Silk' - 70% silk, and 30% 'sea cell' - a kelp-based fibre. It has potential
for a bobbin lace scarf :)
However, this is not the sea silk of the bivalve source.
On the latter there is an excellent entry at Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_silk

with references, and external links which would be worth following - one in
particular is the website of a handspinner in Sardinia who utilizes byssus.
