Long acrylic fibres - could be from stuffed toys, dog toys, (any plushy item, really), doll hair, fake fur, those "eyelash" knit sweaters that were really popular last year. My daughter got one of those for Christmas. I went in and pulled a couple of strands on it - they came away fairly easily, and each strand was about 1.5 inches long.

How about fibres from a "fake fur" Hallowe'en costume? I'm trying to think in terms of "orange", which is not a popular colour (understatement!).

For the really tacky-minded, how about orange plush seat covers for the car/van?

great ideas regarding the source of the orange fibers.
