Sheep produce wool.
And wool is among the fibers shorn, carded, spun, knitted, woven, dyed, and printed into fabrics on the ancient textile machines in Lowell. Mass. There I got to join brainstorming on self-configuring sensor networks, immersion techniques for enhancing human memory, mobile information assurance, and, coincidentally, computational fabrics. The Net's Web is said to be woven, and the earliest computers controlled Jacquard looms, but neither of these is a computational fabric. Imagine a yarn conducting on one side and insulating on the other. Woven one way, the conducting side makes contact, but the other way, not.
