    Fascinating! Imagine gold being turned into a thread, and woven into cloth! ("weaved" is incorrect grammar! "Woven" is correct!) ~Janet in Canada (English Grammar Teacher)

      in Indonesia we also use the gold thread and woven it into cloth that wear during wedding or formal occasion. We called it as Songket. It's usually cost around USD 2500 USD for the pure gold woven fabric.

    I have got to talk to you guys. I use the same looms you do(saurers and drapers) for weaving antennas and impedance controlled cables for high end satellite applications with wire the cloth. I am currently designing a crazy jacquard loom with electromagnetically levitated shuttles and an electromagnetic clutch style heddles. And BLDC tensioners inside the shuttle with wireless communication and machine vision. Also automatic BLDC motor tensioners built into every single strand of the creel for the ultimate level of control.

    I wonder how they made the thread though

      Normally it was wrapped around a silk thread core, for say "cloth of gold", or "cloth of silver".

      @@suhani551 The gold is very thin, in a fine narrow thread, which is flat. The silk is held taut and the gold is wrapped in a continuous band spiraling along the thread. It's very similar to the way a bow string is wrapped, or a piece of millenary wire is wrapped with thread.

    What a disappointing video. it shows cute images without really showing or explaining anything. I feel sorry for the firm who had to take part in this. A loss of their time, and mine watching it.
