How To Make a Map Out of Yarn In ArcGIS Pro

The picture fill and picture stroke symbol options make creating a plausibly realistic material map in ArcGIS Pro a snap. Here's how I would make a map where the lines looked like draped yarn.

Excellent idea again, thank you. I do have a question, if you don't mind? I've a map showing survey responses, I want to "blend" the basemap to only show within the bounding box of our area, everything outside is just white canvas. Is this possible in AGOL?
