Is this a thing you can actually do?

I have found this answer for it .

"Yarn can be spun from cottonwood fibers which can then be knit or crocheted into clothing. The issue with cottonwood fibers is that they are much shorter than regular cotton fibers, which can make spinning them more difficult. Combining cottonwood fibers with regular cotton and spinning them together into yarn can help facilitate creating yarns from them more easily. Yarn from cottonwood is typically only produced by hobbyists, who claim that it is strong and has a mild lustre."

So i figured that using the lowest basest form of cotton would be fine for it.

do I really need to add a new item? Can't i just pluck plant fiber directly?

Just plucking plant fiber from the tree eliminates the need to further refine the item.

they are much shorter than regular cotton fibers, which can make spinning them more difficult

However, seeing the difficulties with obtaining actual usable fiber from the tree it makes sense to require an additional step. So yes, please do add an item for this.

Should i make a different pr for the item or just do everything here?

Nebnis avatar Sep 18 '22 19:09 Nebnis

Do everything in here because all those changes work toward the same goal.
