Maybe they're not using the fibers of the plant in the traditional linen-making way, but instead melting them chemically and turning the melt into fibers, sort of the same way viscose fabrics are made.

I might be understanding this all wrong, but doesn't all plant material, treated that way become viscose? I am sure that I have heard that both potato plants and trees have been used in that way.
