Ann tells me the best little story, from Spin Span Spun –

When the Europeans first started importing cotton, they didn’t know if it was animal or vegetable, so they decided it was a cross.  Little sheep growing on a plant.  But the tale is a sad one–(the tiny sheep attached to the plant) would graze in a circle around the base of the plant, and when they had eaten all the grass they could within the reach of their stem, the poor little things starved to death.

Sacrifices must be made.  Here’s a picture, which will indeed appear as ‘Cotton’ on my tent flap.

I have secured ‘Alpaca’ and ‘Flax’ also.  Still working on a map.
