#REDIRECT [[40d:Textile industry]]
 
 
First grow and harvest the plants, then process the plants to thread, next weave the thread into cloth, and finally turn the cloth into clothes.
 
 
 
==Plants==
 
''Requires: A [[farm]], a [[farmer]], and the appropriate [[seeds]]''
 
 
 
There are six [[crops]] that you can [[Farming|grow]] that are used in the clothing industry. Note that if you don't want to grow them you can [[Trading|trade]] for them or, if they are an above ground crop, you can [[herbalist|gather]] them.
 
 
 
=====Subterraean=====
 
*[[Pig tail]]s are used to make [[#Thread|thread]], and can be grown in Summer and Autumn.
 
*[[Dimple cup]]s are used to make [[#Dyeing|dye]], and can be grown all year round.
 
 
 
=====Above ground=====
 
*[[Rope reed]] is used to make [[#Thread|thread]], and can be grown all year round.
 
*[[Hide root]], [[Sliver barb]] and [[Blade weed]] can be used to make [[#Dyeing|dye]], and can be grown all year round.
 
 
 
 
 
==Thread==
 
''Requires: A [[farmer's workshop]], a [[thresher]], and the appropriate [[#plants|plant]]''
 
 
 
Once you have harvested the plants you must process the pig tails and/or rope weed at the [[farmer's workshop]]. Alternatively you can [[trade]] for thread directly.
 
 
 
In the farmer's workship there are several options for processing plants: either to [[bag]], [[barrel]], [[vial]], or normal. To create thread you want to select normal. The other options produce different products, such as [[#Dyeing|dye]] and [[flour]].
 
 
 
 
 
==Cloth==
 
''Requires: A [[loom]], a [[weaver]], and some [[#Thread|thread]]''
 
 
 
By default any thread produced will be automatically woven at the loom. You may want to turn this off if you intend to [[#Dyeing|dye]] the thread.
 
 
 
 
 
==Clothes==
 
''Requires: A [[clothier's shop]], a [[clothier]], and some [[#Cloth|cloth]]''
 
 
 
Once the cloth is ready you can sew it into [[clothes]], either for [[trading]] or for your own [[dwarves]] to wear.
 
 
 
 
 
==Dyeing==
 
Dyeing is very useful because it adds to the [[value]] of the finished clothes. You can dye either thread or cloth to increase its value. Cloth created from dyed thread cannot be dyed.
 
=====Creating dye=====
 
''Requires: A [[mill]] or [[quern]], a [[miller]], an empty [[bag]], and the appropriate [[#Plants|plant]]''
 
 
 
Once you have harvested or bought the plants, you can mill them into dye.
 
 
 
=====Using dye=====
 
''Requires: A [[dyer's shop]], a [[dyer]], and some dye''
 
 
 
Having the dye, you can dip the clothes or thread into it to increase its value.
