Stem project- New Fiber

[Elin Manon Thomas]

I am doing a stem project based on making a new fiber. I have decided to use recycled waste materials. So far i've been looking into using dryer lint and maybe even hair. I'm going to do a lot of testing when i get back to school so far i thinkthe lint could be felted.

I need to look at current product ideas, designs, case studies, scientific facts and info on fabric construction and information on waste recycling. 

Got any insight? What do you think of dryer lint,is it plausible? 

Thanks, Elin
