Sheets are used in the production of scrolls and quires. They can be made from either paper or parchment, and are stored under Sheet (top stockpile category).

Sheets have quality levels, which don't seem to affect the value of resulting books, however.^[Verify]

For more information, see: Paper industry.

Paper

Paper is made from plant fibers mashed into slurry (at a quern/millstone) and then pressed on a screw press. Both of these actions use the papermaking labor.

Papyrus

Papyrus sheets are made directly from the papyrus sedge plant (which grows in any tropical wetland) at a farmer's workshop. Note that the simple term "papyrus" can refer to either the plant or the paper.

Parchment

Parchment is made from skin and milk of lime at a tanner's shop, and has a value of 50☼. Parchment made from the skin of a cow is called vellum.
