In Fallout 76, Cloth is essential to multiple crafting purposes. Most commonly used in the crafting of Armor and CAMP items such as Furniture, Cloth in Fallout 76 is definitely something you’ll easily farm without even knowing it.
Cloth can be found in MANY different items throughout the world, and you will be constantly breaking down items into cloth without blinking an eye. Some of the items that cloth is most commonly found in is:
Bags of Chlorine
Baseball Base
Napkins (ANY type and color)
Dolls (fixed or broken)
Bubblegum Bear
Burger Tray
Mr. Fuzzy Toys

So, as you can see, you will be acquiring a LOT of cloth in Fallout 76 simply by breaking down items, usually for their OTHER components. The soon-to-be-listed areas to farm Cloth are MY person favorites (as there are too many locations to count) and have TONS of cloth due to them either having plenty of Pre-War Money, Voting poll centers with lots of folders, or just random cloth based items laying all over the place:
