Spinning is the process of turning plant fibers into thread. To do so, {{com|put}} the fibers on a distaff or spinning wheel; a distaff can hold 100 yards of fiber, while a spinning wheel can hold 400. You can then {{com|adjust}} the wheel or distaff to produce '''fine''', '''thin''', '''average''', '''thick''', or '''heavy''' thread; thinner thread is harder to spin, but you produce more thread per yard of fiber. Certain thicknesses of thread will not work well for certain projects; thinner thread for cloth, thicker thread is better for leather. Once you have chosen the correct thickness, simply {{com|spin}} your distaff or wheel to begin. |

Tailoring is a discipline of the Outfitting skill. The system went live in Prime on January 14, 2012.
Currently, the only open locations are the Crossing Outfitting Society and the Riverhaven Outfitting Society.
Cloth
Spinning
Spinning is the process of turning plant fibers into thread. To do so, PUT the fibers on a distaff or spinning wheel; a distaff can hold 100 yards of fiber, while a spinning wheel can hold 400. You can then ADJUST the wheel or distaff to produce fine, thin, average, thick, or heavy thread; thinner thread is harder to spin, but you produce more thread per yard of fiber. Certain thicknesses of thread will not work well for certain projects; thinner thread for cloth, thicker thread is better for leather. Once you have chosen the correct thickness, simply SPIN your distaff or wheel to begin.
- If your thread becomes dull due to grime, CLEAN the wheel or distaff to wipe away the grime.
- If the fiber begins to bunch together, PUSH the wheel or distaff to adjust it.
- If a counter-twist in the fiber strand threatens to unravel if not corrected, TURN the wheel or distaff to even the thread.
Weaving
Weaving allows you to turn thread into cloth using a loom. To do so, PUT two spools of thread, each of at least 10 yards, on the loom. Simple looms, such as the ones in the Crossing Outfitting Society, can only weave together threads of the same type into basic cloth. Once you have placed the thread on the loom, simply WEAVE it.
- If the threads bunch together, TURN the loom to adjust them.
- If the threads begin to unravel, PUSH the loom to tighten it.
- If there is dust and debris obstructing the prim of the shuttle, CLEAN the loom to untangle the knots and loops.
Sewing
Sewing is the process of using a piece of cloth or leather and some thread to create a finished item. The first step is to turn your tailoring book to the desired chapter and page, then STUDY it. Once you have done so, get your cloth in one hand, some scissors in the other, and CUT <cloth> WITH SCISSORS. Having done so, get a needle, PUT some thread on it, and PUSH <item> WITH NEEDLE.
- If the material is folding or becoming misaligned, get some pins and POKE <item> WITH PINS.
- If the fabric becomes creased or wrinkled, get a slickstone or a warm flat-iron and RUB <item> WITH SLICKSTONE or FLAT-IRON.
- If you need to remeasure, first get a yardstick and MEASURE <item> WITH YARDSTICK, then get scissors and CUT <item> WITH SCISSORS.
Each time you PUSH your item with the needle, it uses up about a yard of thread.
Knitting
Knitting is the process of making clothing from yarn. Yarn is a thicker version of thread.
To knit an item, first STUDY your tailoring book to learn the design. Next, put away the tailoring book and hold a pair of KNITTING NEEDLES and some yarn. KNIT yarn with KNITTING NEEDLES to begin the project. The unfinished item will be located on the KNITTING NEEDLES until the project has been completed. To craft the item, KNIT KNITTING NEEDLES. have a pair of knitting needles in one hand and yarn in the other, and KNIT yarn with KNITTING NEEDLES to begin the project. Then KNIT KNITTING NEEDLES to craft the item. When the item is finished CAST KNITTING NEEDLES to tie off and complete the item.
Leather
Leather objects begin with a hide or pelt SKINned from a creature by using ARRANGE to select for a skin.
Tanning
Tanning begins by SCRAPEing the hide or pelt until clean.
After an application of tanning salts, the curing will take place without further interaction. Further application of salts will increase the speed of tanning, but has an escalating skill check with each additional application.
Furthermore, if only a single application of salts is used and the full time is taken, then a bonus to quality is applied to the skin.
Techniques
See Tailoring Techniques.
Tools
See Crafting Tools for an in-depth discussion of them.
Material
Material for Tailoring comes in cloth, yarn, and leather.
Products
See Tailoring Products.
Cutting
To reduce its length of fibers, thread, and cloth:
The amount marked is the amount that will be cut off. For example, if a 10-yard piece of material is marked at 6 yards and then cut, exactly 6 yards will be cut off. The person would be left holding 4 yards of material.
There is a page in Chapter 1 of the tailoring book explaining how to COMBINE, MARK, and CUT fabrics.
Assembling
When an item requires more than one ingredient, additional ingredients can be added with the ASSEMBLE command:
- ASSEMBLE Ingredient1 with Ingredient2
After the ingredients have been successfully assembled the item must typically be sewn again to complete the process.
