A new German textile in which paper is spun with about 20 per cent. of
cotton is being exhibited in Copenhagen.
Unspun cotton in the form of down is glued to one side of endless rolls
of paper and the paper is then shorn into narrow bands, which are spun
with the cotton side outwards.
Danish experts were shown “paper” underclothing, jerseys, sheets,
bandages, and horse blankets, but the cost of production of the cloth
is said to be too high to allow its competing with cotton and woolen
cloth under normal conditions.
