Topic: Can unicorn thread be spun into cloth? (Read 582 times)

I've recently had a unicorn cull and have been spinning a lot of hair into yarn at the workshop, but I go to have it woven into fabric and it says there isnt anything to weave. Same with the mule hair, horse hair etc. Is it only certain species that can be woven?

I think hair can not be used to produce cloth. Those threads only good for surgery.

Only sheep alpaca, llama and troll yarn can be converted into cloth.

As Uggh said, only the kinds listed in the game as thread can be used for cloth, and troll fur is either very hard or impossible to come by for dorfs, since shearing trolls is considered slavery if they're alive, and butchery if they're dead. You can get threads from other kinds of hair, but that thread is only good for surgery (and the hospital does not attempt to select thread unsuitable for other purposes over cloth worthy thread. In fact, I think the hospital will go for adamantine thread first, if given a chance).
