    Interesting article on BBC about fabric made from oranges.
    Who would have thought.

    anytime now i guess. so many Countries make fabrics but name them things we don't know, so they could be made out of anything. Interesting.

    That is a very interesting article - and flour being made from the waste products of orange juice too! Great ideas!

    Thank you for posting. I hope this is profitable for the innovators and it catches on in the US.

    I had no idea you could do so much with orange peels.

    Love this idea! I'd certainly try it in a quilt if the fabric became available. The flour is interesting too.
