Cotton Thread
Cotton fiber that has been processed at a cotton gin and is ready to be used for textiles.
Notes
Cotton Thread is an intermediate crafting material produced at a cotton gin from raw cotton fiber, serving as a base ingredient for textiles and household goods. It is used to craft Cotton Fabric, Cotton Curtains, and several tallow-based light sources (Tallow Candle, Tallow Lamp, and Tallow Wall Lamp), as well as in weaving recipes for wool curtains. Because it feeds into multiple commonly needed items, maintaining a steady stock ensures that tailors and candle-makers can work without interruption.
