I have seen and heard clothes made from animal fur and skin but cobwebs.... huh!

This is a new and strange material for me to make clothes. Zheng Xianwen, a senior TV journalist from Southwest China's Yunnan province, made one-kilogram clothes made by 300 pieces of cobwebs.

Cobweb clothes are not a new thing for Kucong tribe, an ethnic minority neighbouring his region in the province.

According to Zheng, Kucong people were so poor in the past and their clothes were mostly made of cobwebs and banana trees leaves.

Zheng took two days to make his clothing from 300 spider webs. I doubt, won't there be any risk of allergy when these clothes are worn.
