Silk cloth is made from silk thread, which can be gathered from the Template:Ls of Template:Ls and Template:Ls, which is then woven into Template:L at a Template:L. Webs are automatically collected by any worker who has the Template:L Template:L activated and access to a Template:L, which automatically produces the work task "collect webs" and turns collected webs directly into silk - no stockpile is necessary for this collection. (See Template:L for more info.) Automatic collection of webs can be disabled from the options menu - this is useful if the accessible webs are located in a dangerous area or if you want to temporarily free up your weavers for other tasks.
If your fortress doesn't have cave spiders, then it is (usually) easy to buy silk thread and cloth from the dwarven Template:L, and/or request some from a Template:L.
Silk cloth has exactly the same value as plant fiber cloth (34☼).
Template:L silk is very expensive (see Template:L), because it comes from such a high-value creature. It's rare because it only occurs in Template:L where a lair can exist (Template:L/Template:Ls). Getting your hands on it requires you to be either very careful or have Template:L with the Template:L. Caging a spider and occasionally releasing it in the same room as weak/disarmed creatures allows for a renewable source of silk.
Template:L silk has the same value as normal silk, although it is rarer than normal silk. It usually occurs in Template:L heavily wooded areas of some kind, and in small patches.
