I suggest the addition of sea silk, which comes from certain types of mollusks.  It is made from the fibers (byssus - beard) that these mollusks use to attach themselves to rocks.  These can be woven into a strong fabric.  I'm not sure if different fabrics have different strengths but this might be stronger than rope reed fiber cloth.  This could be found from either butchering/cleaning the mollusks, or maybe some other job like gather webs, or maybe even gather plants.  The addition of sea silk might require the addition of the mollusks as well.  I believe that they are called pen shells.  But maybe it could be possible with other types of byssus on mollusks already in the game, such as mussels.  Does it sound like a good idea?
