You can get fiber from anywhere - check for local alpaca or merino sheep wool farms. He can then sell his yarn, which is in high demand these days with the knitting craze....

Actually, this is not so weird! DH has recently learned to embrace the magic of wool...and he actually asked how hard it would be to make our own yarn and knit our own stuff! And, I just checked, and there is a shop just down the road from us that carries all the stuff and has classes. How fun!!!
