If anyone is interested in taking this to the next level, let me know. All you need is a dream, the enthusiasm to see it through, a willingness to learn and an eagerness try new things. I can provide free online mentoring and classes in the skills you need (over a thousand dollars worth of value) but you would have to do the work because I have no kudzu.
I'm interested. I live in kudzu country, NC, zone 7b. But i'd like to find some kudzu that has not been sprayed. I'll ask around.

Even if I could grow it, it's on the 'invasive list' so I'm not supposed to. But I'm posting this in hope that someone here might be inspired and try making kudzu cloth.
If kudzu is half as invasive as they say, then for some readers out there, money really does grow ontreesvines.

Thank you for posting the link, although we really need more permaculture based controls than some the link suggests.Raynier Van Egmond wrote:Really surprised to find people promoting this plant on a permaculture website… seriously?

What you get out of it, knowledge and skill necessary to transform kudzu into cloth and a start towards your own cottage industry.
What I get out of it, proof that it can be done and a sample of the kudzu yarn you made.
I would like a group of 4 to 10 people. Once we have this I can set up a private forum where we can work.
I anticipate it will take one to two years to get your skills up to the level where you can sell your product.
