I've read that in the southeastern states, Spanish moss was used like wool, also for thread and upholstery. But it doesn't get nearly as cold down there ๐Ÿ˜†

I wish I could find a pic

But I did just read that it can be used to make swamp coolers! I always do that with a towel and a bucket.

You put it best there, I live in a part of the United States that gets over 100 degrees during the summer time, which would challenge a cloak idea sadly
