That's right Microbiologist and designer Anke Domaske has created a fabric made completely of milk. Qmilch, is what they are calling it. The word is a combination of the word quality and the German word for milk.
The sour milk is made into a protein powder, heated, and then spun into fabric. It takes just two liters of water to create half a pound of fabric! This fabric is supposed to be great for people with skin allergy's. Its as soft as silk, and as durable and as breathable as cotton. They found a way to produce this fabric without any chemical additives so it 100% environmentally friendly.
I think its pretty amazing what people can create out of the most unexpected things. I would have never thought it would be possible to make a lasting, good quality fabric out of something we drink.
You can find many garments made of milk in Domaske's Mademoiselle Chi Chi clothing line.
