The idea of a milk protein fibre piqued my interest. Sure enough, you can apparently make a yarn out of a blend of casein and acrylonitrate, which apparently is silky smooth and has anti-bacterial properties. Apperently, the idea of making clothes out of milk fibre is not even new - they were around decades ago, but fell into disuse when synthetic fibres came along.

Bamboo fibres too, are supposedly a good starting point for fibres so what do you know. A couple of links, for anyone interested - but milk protein fibre sounds tough to make.

and something on bamboo fibre

If you are seeking suppliers of such material, your best bet would be to search for chinese textile exporters as a starting point, i would imagine.. sounds interesting!
