Spinning Wheel

The Spinning Wheel runs one recipe and it is the only place in the game that makes Flax Thread. Fourteen recipes want that thread, including every bow, every fishing rod and all three candles, so a cheap bench in the yard sits underneath a surprising amount of the game.

Three planks, eight sticks and twelve nails

The Spinning Wheel costs three Wooden Plank, eight Stick and twelve Bronze Nails, from the Yard build desk. The nails are the only part worth planning for, because twelve is more than most early benches ask.

Four Flax in, four thread out

The one recipe takes four Flax and returns four Flax Thread in a duration of four. It sits on the Farming track at mastery three, which is a shovel or a fishing rod rather than an axe.

One for one is the base rate, and the Tailor perk changes that. Each rank adds two to the output, so the first rank alone takes a four Flax craft from four thread to six and turns a break even bench into a profitable one.

Fourteen things want the thread

The bows are the hungriest line. Simple Bow wants two, Reinforced four, Battle six and Heavy eight, and the rods climb the same way from two for a Basic Rod to sixteen for a Pro Rod. Those two lines alone will eat more thread than a single garden bed of Flax can keep up with.

All three candles want one each, alongside their Beeswax. A Simple Candle is two wax and one thread, and the dearer candles only raise the wax, so the thread cost of a candle never changes.

Above those sits Fabric, four thread at the Weaving Loom, and Lace at eight on the sewing table. The single largest ask in the game is Tailor Shop II in town, which wants forty.

The Factory offers a shortcut worth knowing about. An Assembly bench makes Fabric from sixteen Flax directly, skipping the thread step entirely, so once the conveyor line exists the Spinning Wheel is for candles, bows and rods rather than for cloth.
