that is kinda what I was thinking, people have been spinning THREAD, for a long time,( I mean linen cloth is not made from yarn ) I have also heard that even OLD machine made cotton thread plays havoc with machines... so I was wondering if the "lumpy" had spun ever stood a chance or if it was ever common, I see now where the earliest large scale mills roughly coincide with machine introduction... so my chances of ever making it work are pretty slim.
Maybe I should raise some of them Golden Orb spiders... or the mutant spider goats ( google it its fun )
