Lecture 2

Non-traditional Fibre Source

In this section, It is another part of fibre sources. These fibre sources are unique in some countries or produced by particular places. What interested me is those fibre came out from various source like paper. Those kind of fiber has their unique function different with commercial fibre. However, these fibre can not be commercial. normally due to their particular function. Some of them are uncomfortable or unsuitable for body. However, this lecture made me focus on the unusual source which can produced fibre.

There is lots different plants sources mentioned on the lecture. Leaf, hemp, peat and seed hair etc. These fibre source comes from human daily life and it also offer good quality production to people. As the other fibre source like metal and paper. They have special function for particular area. Those non-traditional fibre sources attracted me to know more about the other part of fibre around the world.

What I really think about this lecture is how the unusual source became a way to produce fibre. And what is the technical that people produce fabric by using those non-traditional fibre. I main to discover some natural and sustainable plant. And I want to know how those plant became a fibre source. I really want to try some thing new in knitting or discover a new idea for myself from the material source.
