I can't find the PR where WM required further adjustments to the silk.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ Prepares for First Monster Silk™ Textiles


LANSING, Mich., May 5, 2014– Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Kraig”), the leading developer of advanced spider silk based fibers, announced today that Warwick Mills, Inc. (“Warwick”), a leader in the engineering and development of advanced technical textiles and protective materials, is preparing to weave the first textiles with Kraig’s Monster Silk™ recombinant spider silk. This is part of Kraig’s collaborative development initiative of advanced spider silk based textiles.

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.”

Spider Silk Textile Development Breakthrough


LANSING, Mich., June 18, 2014– Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Kraig”), the leading developer of advanced spider silk based fibers, announced today Warwick Mills (“Warwick”), a leader in the engineering and development of advanced technical textiles and protective materials, created the world’s first textile utilizing Kraig’s genetically engineered spider silk, Monster Silk™.

The first Monster Silk™ textiles are knitted gloves and the first photos are available at the following link- http://www.kraiglabs.com/spider-silk-textiles/. They are considered to be the first of many textiles that are to be created as part of the Company’s joint development agreement with Warwick.
“We have been working with various types of Monster Silk™,” stated Charles Howland, President of Warwick. “We find that all of these fibers are compatible with existing yarn processing and textile formation methods.

As is expected, fiber consistency is not yet at full production levels. However, for the current stage of maturity, these silk materials already have good levels of quality and consistency. We have been making jersey knit samples and will start weaving shortly. These small scale trials are key to helping identify, for Kraig Labs, areas for development for upcoming fiber production trials. We are reviewing textile properties of the samples with Kraig staff and exploring the most attractive applications for this fiber. Overall the trials are well underway and we are making good progress toward commercialization.”

“One of the biggest issues facing our Company was creating our first textile and the open question of whether genetically engineered spider silk could be successfully processed using existing textile formation methods,” said Company founder and CEO, Kim K. Thompson. “With this successful test, and the creation of the first Monster Silk™ knits, we have established that our genetically engineered spider silk works well with existing manufacturing methods. The creation of these knits is a huge milestone in our progress toward making genetically engineered spider silk available for industrial and consumer applications. The fact that these advanced materials process well on existing machinery will help speed up the development of advanced spider silk textiles.”

Blessings to All
