I do like the fact -- and this, interestingly enough, simulates actual silk production methods fairly well -- that silk is generally produced in very small quantities by self-sustaining farmers, who can then sell it on to bulk buyers. The silk I do have has been bought, more or less, one thread at a time (Here, here, Dwarfu). If you are a newb setting out to play, producing even a small amount of silk will get you all the metal you need, I'd wager. The thing right now, though, is that the market is basically dry. I haven't been able to acquire more than two and a half pieces of cloth, and I've been trading for every thread I've been able to. My next test will, on account of this, be silk production. It is possible that we overdid it a bit.
Mass silk Ftw? 2 cloths by tomorrow
afternoon, and i drowned so now i
don't know what i want to do with
them, >.> sewing's not high enough

I honestly think the process for making
silk is enjoyable and rewarding. I made
close to 36 straw baskets and planted
a mulberry tree, end of story + loads
of silk. plz don't make it harder to make
silk though lol, i've got too many baskets
as it is already.
