Nylon Thread

Synthetic thread that has more resistance to abrasion than more natural threads.

Notes

Nylon Thread is an advanced synthetic ingredient used to craft high-tier items like the Composite Bow, Nylon Mooring Rope, and Nylon Trawler Net, as well as Nylon Fabric and Curtains. Its abrasion resistance makes it superior to natural threads for durable goods. Since it appears in several late-game recipes, keeping a stockpile of Nylon Thread on hand helps ensure a steady supply of these advanced products.
