I'm not an expert - I only fold prespun threads or correct yarns which are wrong for knitting and crochet, but I would think that a worsted spun yarn at quite a high twist would be the type of yarn to aim for.

The twist should not be so high that the resultant fabric is hard enough to hurt. I have read that the fabric used in some military kilts was so hard that, when wet and dirty, it could cut the skin.
