− | + | Silk thread can be gathered from the webs of a [[cave spider]] and woven into [[cloth]] at the [[loom]]. If your fortress doesn't have cave spiders, then it is easy to buy silk thread and cloth from the dwarven [[caravan]]. | |
− | + | Silk cloth has exactly the same value as plant fiber cloth (34☼). | |

− | + | [[Giant cave spider]] silk is very expensive (see [[Item value]]), because Toady saw fit. It's rare because it only occurs in [[biomes]] where a lair can exist ([[mountains]]/[[volcano]]s). Getting your hands on it requires you to be either very careful or have [[Combat#Special_Attacks|a little talk]] with the [[Giant cave spider|owner]]. | |

− | [[ | + | [[Phantom spider]] silk has the same value as normal silk, although it is rarer than normal silk. It usually occurs in [[Regions#Surroundings|terrifying]] heavily wooded areas of some kind, and in small patches. Note that stripping a heavily wooded area of trees will drive the [[Phantom spider]]s out, reducing the amount of webbing present. |
− | + | Silk of all kinds will not burn. It is unclear if this is a feature or a bug. | |
