'''Lye''' is a material used to make [[soap]], and can also be used to make [[potash]]*. Lye is made by a [[lye maker]] at an [[ashery]], and requires 1 [[bar]] of [[ash]] and an empty [[bucket]]; ash is made from [[wood]] by a wood burner at a [[wood furnace]].

Lye is moved from buckets into a [[barrel]] if you have a [[Stockpile#Food|food stockpile]] with "lye" enabled* and a spare barrel. One [[barrel]] can hold 100 units of lye.

Lye can be ordered in [[trade agreement]]s. Each barrel of lye brought by a [[caravan]] contains 10 units.

Lye freezes in cold weather - you'll have to wait until it thaws in order to make [[soap]]. Careful application of [[magma]] can help to unfreeze lye, or they can be moved to a warmer [[underground]] location. There is no entry for frozen lye in stockpile menus, however, so dwarves will not haul a frozen lye barrel to any type of stockpile. Barrels containing frozen lye can be moved [[underground]] to thaw by dumping them to a [[garbage dump]], but if you use the [[Designations Menu]] to mark the barrels, the frozen lye stack will be marked for dumping separately, and when it is hauled inside, it will melt into a useless puddle on the floor. Instead, use {{k|k}}-{{k|d}} to mark just the barrel for dumping, and its contents will go with it. If your [[trade depot]] is outdoors in freezing weather, frozen lye barrels (along with [[milk#Dwarven_ice_cream|milk]]) will appear as empty barrels in the [[Trading]] screen. They can be distinguished from empty barrels by having a price 20☼ higher than the price of the barrel, or by {{k|v}}iewing their contents. If purchased, these will also have to be dumped to thaw the lye, or will have to wait for better weather.
