<p>Umir Kamven: won changed to made</p> <hr /> <div>Dye can be used at the [[Dyer's shop]] to change the color of [[cloth]] or [[thread]].<br /> Dye is made by milling certain plants at a [[Millstone]] or [[Quern]]. Usually all caravans will bring dye for trade too. Importing dye however is only useful if you have a somewhat skilled [[dyer]], otherwise no value is added (see below) and the work wasted. Better buy or grow the 'source' plants if available and mill yourself. Of course the nice colours are a value in themselves, if you don't stuff it all in bins. <br /> <br /> {|<br /> |-<br /> !Plant<br /> !Dye<br /> !Color<br /> !Value<br /> |-<br /> |[[Dimple cup]]<br /> |Dimple Dye<br /> |Blue<br /> |20<br /> |-<br /> |[[Blade weed]]<br /> |Emerald Dye<br /> |Green<br /> |20<br /> |-<br /> |[[Hide root]]<br /> |Redroot Dye<br /> |Red<br /> |10<br /> |-<br /> |[[Sliver barb]]<br /> |Sliver Dye<br /> |Black<br /> |20<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Dyeing adds the [[value]] of the dye, multiplied with the [[quality]] to the thread or cloth. Depending on the dye used and the quality of the dyeing, this can give a nice value boost.<br /> <br /> *silk cloth 34☼<br /> *silk cloth, dimple dyed 54☼<br /> *silk cloth, finely colored with dimple dye 94☼ (34+3*20)</div>
