    Thoughts from 45% (page 111)

    “Is it possible to knit socks from seaweed?”

    So as someone who spins and knits, I just went down a rabbit hole. Piranesi probably couldn’t do this, the structure of seaweed isn’t like Flax which can be processed into yarn by hand. HOWEVER, there are seaweed based fibers that are processed like other cellulose fibers (think rayon) and it’s supposed to be more sustainable and akin to silk!
