Can dust be weaved into clothes?
Often when I empty my vacuum cleaner I find the dust has "weaved" together

I think you've invented dryer lint.

There was a time when I thought it might be an interesting idea to try and make pillows using dryer lint as the stuffing...
Never actually tried it though .. 😂

Dryer lint, steel wool, and a 9V battery can make a nifty little firestarter

Cloth, probably not. But look into homemade paper - you might be able to turn vacuum lint into something like construction paper, but ew.
Edit: Found this - instructions on turning dryer lint into paper

It's called felting.

It's more likely to need a wet felting process... Even then you'd probably need longer strands involved.

Maybe with a lot of glue?

Probably not realistically. Weaving fiber into thread relies on those fibers being long enough to hold onto eachother. Dust particles are too small for that. Even dryer lint doesn't work well - anything you made would pull apart much too easily.
