Good luck with the trials. I can understand the appeal of growing cotton for fiber use. I hope you don't find it as annoying as my wife does. She sticks to wool and alpaca these days. She's not allowed to get a sheep or an alpaca though. :D

Oh, I would choose wool over cotton. It just sounds like a lot more work to keep sheep than to grow cotton plants! But I did learn how to knit very simple things last year, and 100% wool is the spool material that I liked the most.
