Weaving Wool

What 100% natural fabrics are there out there?

That you can grow yourself, and then weave/knit? Obviously wool and cotton, but what are the alternatives? If you had a smallholding/farm for example? I've heard of using goat hair and nettles? Does anyone have more info on this or any other alternatives? Peace.

I used to raise angora rabbits and spin their wool. I have also carded wool from dogs. Here are the best breeds to do this with.
Samoyed
Standard Poodles
Old English Sheepdogs
Afghan Hounds
Hungarian Pulis
Collies
U can also use hair from a few other breeds such as chows or chow mixes. It depends on how long the actual hair length is, at the time of harvest. Go find a grooming shop or kennel that will let U go thru their trash or actually separate it out for U if U know what U want for colors.
Angora goat hair is beautiful, and I use it for crafts, but have never woven it. U can also braid leather from hides if U are into harvesting animals.
Flax is an old stand-by. Look it up online for growing and production. It is a bit tough to make soft enough to weave.
Can U grow mulberry trees? There are always silkworms? Haha.
Good luck.
