very very informative for those who is not a native english language like me. thank you for your work in such inspiring content! you did a great job.

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I’ve always admired spiders, but this has opened my eyes to just what miracles of nature they are. I shall be watching this again and again and again…………..🕸🕷🕸🕷

Even if I had never knit with silk, this video would have fascinated me. At this point, I've seen about 20 of your videos (including Eileen Gray, Art Deco, Art Nouveau and other topics of particular interest to me), but this one takes the cake! Your interest in the science/biology behind silkworm and spider output -- coupled with your facility of explaining it in a way that anyone can understand -- is nothing short of spectacular. Kudos!

Thank you for another wonderful lecture. The other day, I quite literally had a panic attack trying to create a PowerPoint for a mental health workshop I have taught several hundred times. Your presentations are absolutely remarkable! And your manner of presentation is utterly delightful. It is clear you are a master of industrial design. Your work is highly functional, engaging, and beautiful. Using many different technologies you have created a product that has been delivered to an old social worker in Utah. Thank you.

I can’t tell you how much I loved watching this video - it was absolutely fantastic and incredibly informative. Thank you! 🕸️🕷️

Excellent video on this! As someone who enjoys history, science and textiles I really appreciate the research and information you shared in all of it. Also, you are very easy and enjoyable to listen to. Thank You!

Thank you for this. It was very intriguing and informative.

Incredible history lesson. So entertaining!

Thank you for this amazing video. As a child I used to watch spiders and wondered about making textiles from their silk. Now I know.

I just wanted to say that as someone who embroiders I thought you did an excellent job of describing how the different stitches are made.

Thank you!

Amazing!

I really enjoyed your presentation. It is very interesting and informative. Thank you!

muchas gracias, querido, super interesante

Whoa. Crosshairs were literally made of hairs. Crazy! 🤯 23:37

So interesting, thank you for sharing! Question: Do the spiders just let you pull the web from them? Do they fight back? How many of them survive after going on that machine to pull their web? They try to keep them alive right is not just 1 web per spider is it?

The thing about silk worms not existing in the wild anymore isn't true-- there are other types of silk producing moths that still exist in the wild. (Especially in India). But they're distinct.

Godley and Peers initiated the spider silk fabrics, but they did not MAKE the garments themselves. The artisans did!

Was that Stacey Mckenzie modeling it?
