52james commented on the word Sabra silk
Sabra silk, aka cactus silk, vegetable silk, vegan silk, is made from agava fiber; Morocco has been making it for a long time. A luxury textile, takes lots of processing, and doesn't harm caterpillars the way real silk does. Geoffrey Renouard, in Conrad's Planter of Malata, is developing a vegetable fiber business on an East Indies island that could be agave, though the "silk plant" species is not specified.
