Some caecilians, legless amphibians, shed their skin to feed young. It's fattier than normal skin, but at least proves the principle.
Imagine a spider mutant that wraps egg cases with super strong guide wire silk rather than the basic whatever they normally use kind. Breed for that, then excessive egg laying, and bam, cash crop.
