When I first saw this quote, I tried looking up "fleece vests spun from recycled glass" but didn't find anything. Anyone know what this reference is about?

- alephnerd 3y agoMaybe Le Guine meant (plastic) bottles and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Yarn? That is also super complex for something that we take for granted
- ZeroGravitas 3y agoYou get recycled glass spun into fibreglass for insulation. But as far as I'm aware it is not used in clothing. You also get fleece jackets made from recycled PET plastic bottles. Possibly the two have been conflated.
