I was just over on Neil Brooks site and he poses the question as to what was
used on the strings before cotton was available.  Has anyone researched
this?  I guess they could have had access to cotton through trade in
medieval times but it would have been expensive even in later renaissance
times.  Has anyone tried wool fibres?
