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.

    Lint is made of very short fibers. Yarn is held together by friction and tangling between the fibers; if they’re too short, it won’t hold together. So if you tried to spin lint into a yarn, it would probably just break apart.
