Goldweave
A recent discovery, goldweave is found by getting the Acrom moth larvae to form a caccoon from eating the leaves of the Biemon tree, found in the deep tropical south. Brought north and kept in gardens in towns just northwest of Vertus , it was guessed that the trees could be used for a different form of Greshire until the moths got into the trees and almost stripped them bare - being local fauna. It was only after the moths began to metamorphasis (swarming the trees and hanging from the bare branches like newly formed leaves) , that the inhabitants of the settlements realised they could convert the caccoons into a different form of textiles.
Feeding the larvae a mix of dissolved honey, they unpicked the caccoons before the larvae had a chance to begin change, nursing them back to health so they could both exploit the interaction and preserve the lives of these highly common moths.
The thread itself is a naturally lusterous, and also ductile, forming long threads that have a high draw strength. When woven it also has a low heat conductivity and so keeps those inside naturally warm. The thread itself shines a gold-red, with pockets of maroon.
