Thanks Mark!
50+ medium-large silkworms, with a sillkworm house, mulberry leaf powder, and a grater! The grater is for grating the cooked mulberry leaf powder into the silkworm house. In a month or so the cocoon-spinning should begin. Then I can boil the cocoons (which, yes, means boiling the little wormies alive) and get some home-grown silk!
The next frontier: making linen from my own flax. But just you try searching for "flax seed fiber variety" and finding anything but dietary supplements.... [There are two varieties of Linum usitatissimum, one grown for the oily seed and the other for its nice long bast fibers.]
