The shootpacks were expected to be completed by December. A review and discussion in late December / early January between Kraig Labs and the textile mill that was scheduled to produce the shootpacks determined that the large scale production looms at their facility were not ideal for working with the small quantity of silk thread for these shootpacks. As a result of discussion with the textile mill, the spider silk thread has been sent to an alternative textile research facility. This new facility has the equipment to produce narrow warp woven fabrics needed for this project and the capacity to take on the work. We look forward to receiving the finished woven fabric in March and plan to share images of these first woven samples of recombinant spider silk with you.



It looks like Warwick Mills is now being described as "the textile mill". So it looks like they had a falling out. That doesn't inspire confidence.

In addition, it says that Warwick mills was not able to work with "the small quantity of silk thread". They had 1.5 years to create enough thread for the shootpacks, and they still couldn't make a large enough quantity. Wow!
