Coroweaving

Coroweaving is an Elgan method of weaving still-living strands of very sensitive corocylene fungus colonies into a desired shape.

Incredibly demanding the skill and patience of the weaver, this traditional art is extremely rare in the modern day, due to the incredible demands on the skills and patience of both a weaver and botanist required to complete even a small amount of fabric.

By weaving each colony's strands into the correct patterns, a coroweaver can produce cloth like matte silk that retains its bioluminescent properties for decades. Hydration chambers containing garment-molds can be used to create exorbitantly expensive pieces of clothing grown as a single unbroken piece of cloth over the course of several months or more. With the right care, a colony can be manipulated over the course of its life to alter the hue of its bioluminescence, allowing for a great deal of customisation - at a price.

Corocylene is one of the most labour-intensive products to come from Krell despite many automated propagation processes due to the sheer amount of precision needed to catch and correct slight variations that might ruin up to a year's worth of product if left uncorrected for more than a day or so. Even after it is completed, exposure to too much water or humidity over a long enough period may revitalize the strands enough that they expand again, causing the imperiled garment to unravel.
