I don't know if that was necessary to demonstrate but my point is it's the sound of self destruction.

The process does not require the use of coagulation chemistry or high temperatures to produce solid threads from solution.

They required scores of highly skilled weavers working over extended periods of time with very expensive materials the wools, the silks, even gold and silver thread.
