Junco Pollock, GA State professor of textiles, is doing processing of it, spinning it into fibers to be woven with. It's used for weaving quite a bit in Asia, apparently.<br />You might look into her kudzu project... quite interesting!Tommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-24603578272674079912010-04-22T07:52:39.012-04:002010-04-22T07:52:39.012-04:00I wonder if you could make a fiber from kudzu like...I wonder if you could make a fiber from kudzu like is being done with bamboo.

Neverhteless great twin! By the time you come back you will just fly through the rest of it.
