Indians were known to use worn out wool blankets as wadding, along with grass, leaves and anything else that would hold a ball down. Wait until people realize that for a decent period of the flintlock era patched ball used linen and membrane more than cotton. Wait until certain people hear that it wasn’t exactly unheard of to tie a patch around a ball and keep them in their bags.

Oh no it wasn’t. There were just many grades of woolens. Some rather coarse and scratchy, some nearly as fine as silk.

Wool works because it’s usually a bit thicker when woven, especially blankets, it is naturally fire resistant which helps when blasted out of something that uses an explosion for power.

We're talking about raw, unwoven wool.

As for patches tied around balls, I believe this was the origin of bullet boards- to hold the patch and ball together and facilitate sewing the patch closed. Pop them out, put them in the bag, less to fumble with in the field.
