Can you use a sweater or wool as bedding for a mouse?
I don't see any harm in it, I used to give my hamsters Kleenex for bedding. Although, you may want to buy bedding that is made just for your mouse at a local pet store. Some materials have dyes so I wouldn't recommend it. As the other poster said go to your pet store, or use cotton baton and wood chips.
