Most Velcro has a plastic backing, and at least the hooks (and often the loops) are made of plastic. I think plastic will not be accepted as a "fiber". If your Velcro "rope" has plastic in it throughout the entire length, I do not think it will be accepted.

Fiber: "a thread or filament from which a vegetable tissue, mineral substance, or textile is formed."

I see no reason why plastic would not meet this definition.

Also, if you plan on ruling out plastic, you would also rule out quite a few chord and rope options in addition to Velcro.
