Apparently dried teasels were (and sometimes still are) used for "raising the nap" on woolen fabrics - part of the manufacturing process.

An interesting side note is that the wool was made wet beforehand, which might be the reason for the strange color used in the root.
So I would most definitely prefer a type of teasel that was used in the manufacture of fabrics.
This also points to some thematic grouping, since the plant to its left is cotton.
