Silk

Silk is a crafted material used in several advanced recipes. It is produced by placing 10 Cocoons into a Spinning Wheel and waiting 3 days, which yields 1 Silk. Because of the long processing time and high cocoon requirement, it is best treated as a mid-to-late game crafting resource rather than something to spend casually.

Its main listed use is in the Hunter's Crafting Table, where it is combined with other materials to make one item at a time. The recipe shown for that station consumes 1 Silk, 1 of a second material, and 1 of a third material to produce 1 output item. Since Silk is part of a multi-material craft, it is worth keeping a small stockpile on hand if you are planning to use hunter-themed equipment or tools.

• Crafted at a Spinning Wheel from 10 Cocoons
• Crafting time: 3 days
• Output: 1 Silk
• Used in the Hunter's Crafting Table recipe shown above

Because the conversion rate is low, Cocoons should be collected steadily rather than spent immediately. Setting up a Spinning Wheel early lets you turn spare Cocoons into Silk over time, ensuring you have enough when a recipe calls for it.
