Death's Thimbleweed

Death’s Thimbleweed is a small plant that when in bloom, produces a large bulb-like structure with spines on the outside. When this opens, it releases its seeds into the world, leaving behind a thread-like substance. This can be used to make clothing out of, and often is if wool or silk is too expensive. It has no medical uses and is actually poisonous. Many people are allergic to the seeds and pollen.
