Farmers would go into the mountain in the Spring to collect edible ferns. There is a brown fiber, which needs to be picked out before they cook. They will never throw the fiber out, but let it pile in the kitchen. It will be used as an accent for the silk they spin later. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWonderful for lace knitting.
