This is a very interesting video. But I wonder how that original flat of fiber gets made before it is shipped to Red Heart! Thanks for sharing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: somewhere in my reading, I remember seeing a drawing where the liquid material is "sprayed" through a device that resembles a shower head. I'll keep my eyes open for the reference. ~sue
