Silk

(White) Mulberry Tree. (Morus alba)

[1] The leaves are covered with moth eggs
[2] It is infested with moth larvae.
[3] The moth larvae are spinning cocoons.
[4] The tree is laden with moth cocoons. (Harvestable)
[5] Moths are emerging from the cocoons. ('Infectious' up to # tiles)

You hang some moth cocoons from the tree.
[4a] The tree has some moth cocoons. (Not harvestable)
[5a] A few moths are emerging from the cocoons. (Not 'infectious')

You prune the mulberry tree; at stage [#].
1 - The egg infested leaves have been removed.
2 - A lot of infected branches are removed, a few moth larvae remain to eat the leaves. [2a] Examine shows: A few moth larvae feast here.
3 - A lot of infected branches are removed, some larvae are still spinning cocoons. [3a] Examine shows: A few moth larvae are spinning cocoons.
4 - A lot of infected branches are removed, a few moth cocoons remain. [4a] Examine shows: The tree has some moth cocoons.
5 - A lot of infected branches are removed, a few moths are still emerging. [5a] Examine shows: A few moths are emerging from the cocoons

You prune the mulberry tree; at stage [#a]
- The infected branches are removed.

Harvest: You collect some moth cocoons from the tree. [Examine shows: The tree has some moth cocoons.]

You start to work on the moth cocoons with the spindle.
You produce a string of cloth, silk.

Combining with any other cloth type at any stage of cloth tailoring drops material affix from description. Can be used to make normal cloth items with same values as for cotton.

Use square of cloth, silk, to make fine cloth clothing instead of cloth armour.

Fine cloth cap, silk - dyable, default white.
Fine cloth jacket, silk - dyable, default white.
Fine cloth sleeve, silk - dyable, default white.

Activate wires, gold with string of cloth, silk in your inventory, to weave square of cloth, gold.
Create cloth of gold, cloth of silver, and cloth of copper fine-cloth items by this method, non-dyable.

Use a ropemaking tool on string of cloth, silk to make fine ropemaking items:
Fine bow string - string changes status of bow to 'fine'. (as adding a fine fishing-line makes a fine fishing-rod)
Fine rope - use a needle on fine rope to make silk braid, used to finish fine cloth cap, jacket, hose, and dresses.
                - combine with wires to make fine gold, silver or copper rope.
                             - use to finish cloth of gold, silver, and copper; fine cloth cap, jacket, hose and dresses.


Flax

Plants and seeds found by botanising.

Planting seeds creates farm tile.

Harvest by hand not with a tool as flax is pulled up to ensure greatest fiber length.
Harvest before the seed pods ripen to get flax plants
Harvest when the seed pods have ripened to get seed pods which can be picked for seeds or crushed for linseed oil.

You start to work on the flax plant with the water.
You produce retted flax.

You start to work on the retted flax with the hackles. (short board implanted with clusters of vertical pins or 'tines' through which the flax fibres are drawn)
You produce linen fiber. You produce tow fiber. (i.e. as spinning cotton used to produce string and rags at the same time, but linen fibre and tow fiber should be same quality)

You start to work on the linen fiber with the press.
You produce a paper sheet.

Use tow fiber as wemp fiber, with a rope tool to produce ropemaking items.

You start to work on the linen fiber with the spindle.
You produce string of cloth, linen.
Combining with other cloth types removes affix and can then be used to make standard cloth armour.

Use square of cloth, linen, to produce clothing and non-cotton cloth armour.
Cloth tunic, linen - dyable, default beige. (torso slot)
Cloth skirt, linen - dyable, default beige. (legs slot) *calf-length to just cover default clothing
