(OTCQB: KBLB) (\u201cKraig\u201d), the leading developer of advanced spider silk based fibers, announced today that Warwick Mills, Inc. (\u201cWarwick\u201d), a leader in the engineering and development of advanced technical textiles and protective materials, is preparing to weave the first textiles with Kraig\u2019s Monster Silk\u2122 recombinant spider silk. This is part of Kraig\u2019s collaborative development initiative of advanced spider silk based textiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kraig previously shipped Monster Silk\u2122 yarn to Warwick, which after studying the material, requested that it be processed to additional specifications. The material was shipped back to Kraig and then studied by a silk spinning expert who analyzed the fibers. The fibers were then processed according to the directions and specifications of the spinning expert. Recently, Kraig received the reprocessed Monster Silk\u2122 and shipped the material to Warwick. Warwick is now testing and analyzing Kraig\u2019s Monster Silk\u2122 recombinant spider silk and determining the best ply and cord twisting for yarn optimization in preparation for creating sample textiles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appreciate and respect the fact that Warwick asked us to reprocess the material instead of just moving forward at full speed with weaving or knitting,\u201d said Kraig CEO and founder, Kim Thompson. \u201cWarwick has taken the time to do this right. As a result, the development of Monster Silk\u2122 based textiles is at an exciting stage, Warwick is preparing to create the first Monster Silk\u2122 textiles.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><em>About Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.
