Kudzu Fiber Extraction

When the transparent and lustrous fiber comes out from rotten Kudzu vein swaying in the stream, I'm always moved by its breathtaking beauty---
Here I show you how I extract bast fiber from kudzu vines.
Kudzu→en.wikipedia.o...
Its bast fiber is thin and shiny, the best natural material to add some brilliance on your textile works.
I love this process cuz I feel very good being in the cool stream in the hot and humid summer. Surrounded by greenery, I hear only bugs chirping, birds twittering and the stream flowing.
Feel the Mother Nature and you'll receive the gift from her.

Wonderful skills, beautiful setting. As an American, it’s really beautiful to see kudzu growing as one plant in a diverse patch, a powerful community member (but not the eldritch beast it became when abruptly displaced here). There’s hope for the ecosystem adapting to envelope it eventually, even if lifetimes in the future. In the meantime, I will learn to spin it!

As a spinner rhat just moved to the south, I think this is something I should try.

This is so cool I would love to see the spinning and end product.
