Fabric is a woven material you make at the Loom from Linen. Before you can craft any of it, you need the Loom itself, which you recover during a Hunter quest and carry back to your base. Its description reads: “A sturdy material that was woven out of linen. It revolutionized the clothing industry due to its flexibility and durability. It looks better as well.”
Quick answer: Fabric is woven at the Loom, with 2 Linen making 1 Fabric. Get your first Loom from the Hunter quest “Loom For The Hunter” in East Lapis, then place it in your base.
Get the Loom from the “Loom For The Hunter” quest
During the Hunter’s quest, head to a weaver’s cottage inside East Lapis in the Kindlewastes. The Loom is inside; pick it up and take it back to your home to install.
Weave Fabric from Linen
Load the Loom with Linen: 2 Linen make 1 Fabric. Linen itself is spun from Flax. The Hunter also has a Loom recipe if you want another one. Building it costs 5 Wood Logs, 10 Wood Planks, 5 Fossilized Bone, 1 Bronze Bars, 30 Linen, and 10 Nails.
What Fabric is used for
Fabric is used to make armor padding, bandages, dyed cloth, and other crafted items. The quest text explains that getting the Loom lets you craft padding kits to improve armor. Each Assassin, Warlock, and Deerstalker armor piece requires 1 to 3 Fabric.
| Item | Crafter | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Padding | Hunter | 3 Fabric, 1 Leather, 2 Resin, 2 Linen |
| Warm Padding | Hunter | 3 Fabric, 1 Leather, 2 Resin, 4 Wool |
| Improved Bandage (makes 5) | Hunter | 1 Linen, 1 Wound Ointment, 1 Fabric, 2 Moss |
