There is this one myth about beauty that I think most women (and probably men too) all over the world have heard. It tells about Cleopatra, a very powerful and famous Egyptian queen, who was known for her power but also for her incredible beauty and wonderful flawless skin. The reason for this was that she used to bade in milk. Now I know that a lot of skin products that contain milk is promoted using this story, but how true it is, that milk will make you pretty I mean, that I\u2019m uncertain of. Anyway, research show that milk can have very good effect on damaged skin, like helping to heal scaring after severe burns. But would you ever imagine being able to dress in milk? In China they have been experimenting with this thought for the last ten years, trying to figure out how to separate the water from the milk, leaving the milk fibers to be transformed into you know what… tread and then yarn… and then lovely lovely fabric. It turns out that this fabric has a lot of health benefits and that it amongst other things represents very interesting innovations considering wound dressings. It also turns out to be a lovely fiber for clothing; soft, moist absorbent and anti bacterial. A small yarn factory here in Norway, Viking of Norway<\/a>, has been a part of this development, and could just a few weeks ago launch a totally new type of yarn, Pure Milk Fiber<\/a>. I\u2019ve tried it and it is lovely to work with, and best of all it is certified as ecological too. I\u2019ve made the Sachiko Kimono Sweater<\/a> that I earlier<\/a> made in bamboo, and I think that it turned out even better this time. Now, all of my readers can guess who this one is for, the baby who\u2019s due any day now. And yes I have to admit I\u2019m getting pretty impatient.<\/p>\n

Det er en verdensomspennende myte som jeg tror alle damer (og menn ogs\u00e5) har h\u00f8rt. Den forteller om den egyptiske dronningen Cleopatra som var kjent b\u00e5de for sin store makt, og for sin utrolige skj\u00f8nnhet. Grunnen til at hun var s\u00e5 vakker, sies det, var at hun pleide \u00e5 bade i melk. Jeg vet at en rekke hudprodukter som inneholder melk promoteres nettopp ved bruk av denne historien, men hvor sann den er, det at melk gj\u00f8r en vakker mener jeg, det vet jeg ikke. Uansett, forskning viser at melk har en sv\u00e6rt god effekt p\u00e5 skadet hud, som for eksempel ved tilhelning av arr etter brannskader. Men kunne du noen gang ha forestilt deg at det skulle v\u00e6re mulig \u00e5 kle seg i melk? I Kina har de eksperimentert med denne tanken i de siste ti \u00e5rene. De har pr\u00f8vd \u00e5 finne ut hvordan man kan separere vannet fra melken slik at man endte opp med rene melkefiber som videre kunne transformeres til …. ja det skj\u00f8nner du sikkert… tr\u00e5d og dermed garn … og dermed deilig deilig t\u00f8y. Det viser seg at slikt t\u00f8y har mange helsemessige fordeler og at det blant annet representerer veldig spennende nyvinninger med tanke p\u00e5 bandasje materiell. Det viser seg ogs\u00e5 at dette er fiber som egner seg sv\u00e6rt godt til kl\u00e6r; det er mykt, fukt absorberende og antibakterielt. En liten garnfabrikk her i Norge, Viking of Norway<\/a>, har deltatt i utviklingen av melkefibrene, og kunne bare for noen uker siden lansere en helt ny type garn, Pure Milk Fiber<\/a>. Jeg har pr\u00f8vd det og det er et deilig garn \u00e5 arbeide med, og det beste av alt er at det er sertifisert som \u00f8kologisk ogs\u00e5. Jeg har laget Sachiko Kimonoen<\/a> som jeg sist<\/a> laget i bambus, og jeg syns nesten at resultatet ble enda bedre denne gangen. Jeg regner med at alle mine lesere skj\u00f8nner hvem som skal f\u00e5 denne, lille venn som er ventet \u00e5 komme hvilken som helst dag n\u00e5. Og ja, jeg m\u00e5 innr\u00f8mme at n\u00e5 begynner jeg \u00e5 bli ut\u00e5lmodig.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
