Simon Peers, an English art historian specializing in fabric research, collaborated with American businessman Nicholas Godley to produce this masterpiece cloth. After 5 years, a 3.4 x 1.2 meter fabric made of a yellow brocade shawl was born with a production cost of USD 395,820.

The idea of ​​producing spider silk fabric originated from a French record of the 19th century. The record describes the exploitation and production of silk fabric of a spider species available on Madagascar's father French missionary name Paul Camboué and a businessman named M. Nogué.

Peers rebuilt a copy of the spider silk mining machine invented in history by Nogué. It is a small machine controlled by hand, which can simultaneously pull the threads of 24 spiders without hurting them.

The red-spotted weaver spiders (Nephila inaurata), the native creature in some of the western Indian Ocean islands, including Madagascar, the eastern and southeastern regions of Africa, are used to produce cloth . Only the female spider of this species has the ability to release silk. They only release silk in the rainy season and use bright nets under the sun to attract prey or to disguise.

One million female spiders have been taken to release the silk, creating enough cloth to make scarves. After running out of silk, the spiders are released to the wild and after a week they can produce normal silk.

The birth of a yellow scarf proved that spider silk can actually be used to produce fabrics. Spider silk is very strong but very light and elastic. But mass production of spider silk fabric is very difficult because spiders tend to eat at the same time when they are together.
