Nitpick about Demiguises (and their pelts)

Hi all, 

I've got a nit to pick with Newt Scamander (I'm also hoping that this 
will qualify me as a L.O.O.N member).  

In Fantastic Beasts, under the entry for Demiguises it states 
that 'Demiguise pelts are highly valuable as the hair may be spun 
into Invisibility Cloaks.' 

Here's my nitpick: you don't spin pelts into anything.  You *weave* 
them into things like Invisibility Cloaks.  (And to further nitpick, 
you don't spin *pelts* without first processing them--like wool.)

This has bothered me since I read the book. I can't help it--I'm a 
spinner/weaver & I know the process. 

Is this a Flint? Or did she just not do her homework?

Peace & Plenty,
