Locks of Luthien: "It is told in the Lay of Leithian how she escaped from the house in Hнrilorn; for she put forth her arts of enchantment, and caused her hair to grow to great length, and of it she wove a dark robe that wrapped her beauty like a shadow, and it was laden with a spell of sleep."

Mithgelebril, which is "silvery-grey' in Sindarin, or Mithfanuil which is 'cloudy-grey'.

It came out so beautifully, wow; gorgeous work!

Links? :) (See 2 parts? Did you forget to post them here?)
I like this name very much.

I also wonder if there's a reference in Tolkien's papers on what the damn cloaks were made of....

Will answer more in a bit--have to make dinner, but wanted to note that "hithlain" (mist thread) was the soft grey rope the elves used in Lorien, according to Noel's "The Languages of MIddle Earth". I was considering that the rope and the cloaks may be made of the same fiber.
