I like it better as a rare drop. Also, as string is made from flax, then could you imagine a cobweb made of dried plant stems? I also like Alte's second proposal of using shears to harvest an old cobweb. However, I have a minor correction for Alte on Araneomorph biology. First of all, spiders actually produce the finest silk there is; spider silk (particularly that produced by those in the genus Nephila) is one of the strongest natural materials present, and is stronger than a steel thread of the same diameter, and will stay that way for longer than you think. The aforementioned Nephila spiders can use the same web for months, and it still retains all it's properties, which I know from first hand experience i.e. the giant Nephila spider I use as a mosquito net.
