Kosher yarn/fiber?

One of my co-workers announced that she’s pregnant today (yay! lab baby!).

I’m a knitter, and I’d like to knit something for the baby. But my co-worker is Jewish, and keeps kosher, and I know there are probably lots of kosher rules that I don’t know about, so I just wanted to check: are there any rules about the kinds of fibers that are kosher or not?

I would like to make the baby a sweater from a yarn that’s 55% wool, 33% microfiber, and 12% cashmere. (Knitters: [Ravelry link](Ravelry: Offset Wraplan pattern by Sara Morris) for the pattern. I’m going to put a DNA cable on the side panel! :)) Would that be okay?
