It is what they do to the fiber at the filature...though I don't know if they used the same filature in(a secret undisclosed location)....
....but I think the PR said it best.
"Kraig previously shipped Monster Silk™ yarn to Warwick, which after studying the material, requested that it be processed to additional specifications. The material was shipped back to Kraig and then studied by a silk spinning expert who analyzed the fibers. The fibers were then processed according to the directions and specifications of the spinning expert. Recently, Kraig received the reprocessed Monster Silk™ and shipped the material to Warwick. Warwick is now testing and analyzing Kraig's Monster Silk™ recombinant spider silk and determining the best ply and cord twisting for yarn optimization in preparation for creating sample textiles.
"We appreciate and respect the fact that Warwick asked us to reprocess the material instead of just moving forward at full speed with weaving or knitting," said Kraig CEO and founder, Kim Thompson. "Warwick has taken the time to do this right. As a result, the development of Monster Silk™ based textiles is at an exciting stage, Warwick is preparing to create the first Monster Silk™ textiles.""
BTW, thanks all, but I think Eschewvice beat me to some of those points. Well done Eschew!
