A German microbiologist has begun to create fabrics from milk. It is milk fibers from the casein, a protein that has milk.

The creator is Anke Domaske, and currently milk is used that has been discarded for human consumption. This transforms it into a fiber similar to silk. The fiber is easy to produce, ecological and has anti-allergenic properties.

Domaske was recognized in Germany for her innovative work but was not the first or the only person to develop this idea. In fact, by the mid-twentieth century research was already underway to produce these fibers but they were very expensive and had many chemicals.
Right now, casein dries, which are the white solids that accumulate on the sour milk. That flour is mixed with water, kneaded and pressed until it comes out in thinner strands than a hair. With about 6 liters of sour milk can make a dress.
