I know its not quite that simple, I’d have to make thread first, and after I get enough, make clothing out of it. Could this actually be done? I can sew, but never made my own clothing nor have I ever made thread, so I don’t know if it could actually be done or not. I’m 100% sure the time and effort would not be worth it, or money spent on stuff to produce the thread, etc. But looking at my lint garbage pale made me wonder.

    Ever rolled lint in your hands and then it shrinks and gets denser? It’s kind of like that just more controlled. You’re tying a bunch of tiny knots in the fibers and letting friction keep it in place
