As evidence look at the story behind junimo cart and tell me that! More evidence is the last bundle the junimos says "the others left me behind"
Don't worry I won't leave others behind even though I'm a junimo so don't worry

I'm not sure if this is considered useless, but it is cuteーat exactly 12:00 p.m. sharp on the 28th day of any season, there is a Junimo plush hidden behind a bush above the playground that can be placed inside the farmhouse.

I believe there are linen (from flax) and bamboo cloths that can be very soft. Just because it is made out of plants doesn't mean it is inferior quality.

so is cotton, and more of our clothes nowadays are made from cotton then wool. Wool, on the other hand can be very scratchy. It’s only specific animal breeds and treated wool that is soft.

My mistake sorry, it's just that the fibers look quite scratchy in stardew valley.

It depends, I've grown and made cloth with flax, and it can go either way depending on the processing and sorting of fibers.
When processing flax and separating the fibers, there are higher quality, softer strands called line fibers that are softer due to being a lot longer, and then fibers of poorer, rougher quality called tow fibers which art short, leading to a general more rough texture as the fiber ends are higher in number and more noticeable to the touch.
Either of these are also processed entirely differently after being sorted, the former usually involving extensive processes of scutching (removing the hard outer shell of the plant stem which covers the actual fiber), retting (basically letting the flax naturally rot in moisture, which destroys the natural binding pectin that's useless, but leaves the hardy fibers which aren't easily consumed), and hackling (process of brushing to align the flax fibers so they don't have ends that stick out, are easier to be processed further), then being wet spun which leads to tighter, more cohesive 'cordaged' strands. Tow fibers on the other hand usually go through far less extensive versions of these processes as they're already not super worth processing to such a degree, and that compounds their natural 'roughness'.
Historically (and even now tbh), the former is used for more fancy, deluxe uses like bedsheets, while the latter are used for potato sacks or historically the clothing of the less fortunate, the hardiness of the fibers actually softening as the clothing was passed from child to child. So I guess to tie back to the original question, it depends on effort and who you were historically, and I assume the same rough idea applies to bamboo fibers too.
I guess that was your useless in real life trivia for the day?
