A single parchment sheet.

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).

For more information, see: Paper industry.

Paper

Paper is made from cloth plants 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 hide and milk of lime at a tanner's shop. Parchment made from the hide of a cow is called vellum.
