What are you thinking of putting inside the Monkey's Fist? A ball would not generally be a fiber. I have, however, seen Mokey's Fist's created around the knotted end of the rope being used to create the knot ( example). That, I believe, would be a legal way to create one.

The tough part for an inspector will be to know if a marble (or some other object) was used to start the Monkeys fist, or if they started around another knot.
