Depends on what you need exactly, but I use sheep wool a lot. It's great as mulch, but can't be a top layer. I use raw dirty wool in the garden for covering stuff, and I will use it soon under a pond, and I knit simple blankets which I will use in the garden when they wear out.
I guess knitting a blanket just to use it in the garden might be too much work, but it's certainly doable too... you can also use old clothes of course, but they usually contain some % of plastic.
