Spider Silk

This cloth was made out of the filaments from the golden orb spider of Madagascar.

The color was not dyed.


It took 4 years, more than 1 million spiders, and 80+ humans to create, and it is 5 to 6 times stronger than steel (by weight).

It is currently on display at the American Museum of Natural History.
