Aye, twas My first thought. But this is meant to be a Brewing Fort, not a bloody clothes factory 
It never hurts to have a couple of sidelines just in case. And if you really don't want to sell it you could always use it to give your militia proper uniforms.
Theyre wearing Leather and Metal
Make cloaks. Those can sometimes block freaking WARHAMMERS.
I already had Cloaks before I had to build a massive bloody Cloth Storage Room
Looms are a liability unless you immediately order up one of each type of job and suspend it so more jobs can't be auto-generated. Otherwise, they use up all the thread for the hospital and weavers go on suicide missions to the caverns to collect webs.
Hospital has its own Thread Supply from the Farmers Market, but in future, I shall be Suspending Work.
don't process pig tails or rope read at the workshop, end of problem
I dont have either of those things. Thats why Im confoozled
No thread of any kind? Loom not set to autoweave the thread? If not, I am as confuzzled as you are.
I presume its Cave Spider Silk, found in some deep Cavern I dont even know exists. It may have been set to Autoweave it, though Im sure I told it not to. I was polite!
Cloth Crafts - insane value.
Or red cloaks.
Yeah, but theyre not the center of Industry
It sounds like it's auto-gathering silk and making that into cloth. An easy way to fix this is to either turn off auto-collecting, or set it to use dyed cloth / thread only. Hit 'o' and play around with the settings.
Aye
Pro-tipsauce - Go into the (o)rders menu and set the loom to auto-loom dyed thread only. Then have your laziest dorf dye it up
As for disposal of cloth, Set custom cloth only stockpiles, custom crappy clothing stockpiles, and some clothesmakers workshops near your entrance/trade depot. Mass decorate everything and trade away.
So, to make sure I understand: Go to the (o)rders menu, set the loom to only loom dyed Thread, assign the Mayor to do all the work, and go build a Custom Stockpile?
Wasn't the ‼solution‼ already mentioned?
Whats funny about this, is that Ive already burnt it all, and three Dwarfs.
Bags, ropes for wells, cat bait, and traction benches, and make the rest into socks so dwarves leave their dirty damn socks all over the fortress.
While a Fort full of Socks would be better than a Fort full of Cloth, then Id just be replacing the Cloth Storage Rooms with Finished Good Storage Rooms.
Make cloaks, give every militia dwarf six cloaks to wear on top of their armor.
But thatd take, like, time and effort.
