One of my customers is a weaver who works with silk a fair amount. She gave
me enough silk cord let over from her projects to do about a dozen pianos.
Apparantly, pieces under 18 inches or so just go into the garbage.
Perhaps there's a source there which could be mined for some people. Local
craft stores may carry something similar as well.
