HOWTO make spider-silk thread

HOWTO make spider-silk thread: "

Love the spiders in your garden? Put the little critters to work for you by turning their abandoned silk webbing into thread: '
I have also encountered many abandoned webs, which gave me the idea of harvesting these out-of-use webs for their silk. Having walked into so many webs, I know how unbelievably strong and stretchy their threads are. Spider silk, in fact, is the strongest fiber ever discovered. Spider silk is stronger than steel, for its diameter; that is, a thread of steel would be weaker than a thread of spider silk of the same size.'
