+ | '''Dye''' can be used at the [[Dyer's shop]] to change the [[Color#Color_tokens|color]] of [[cloth]] or [[cloth|thread]]. | ||
+ | Dye is made by milling certain [[crop|plants]] at a [[Millstone]] or [[Quern]]. Usually all [[trading|caravans]] will bring dye for [[trade]] too. Importing dye however is only useful if you have a somewhat skilled [[dyer]], otherwise little value is added and the work wasted. Better buy or grow the 'source' plants if available and mill yourself. Of course the nice colours are a value in themselves, if you don't stuff it all in bins. | ||
− | + | Dyes are [[stockpile]]d as "Food/Milled Plants", along with [[flour]]s. On the [[stocks]] screen, dyes are listed under [[powder]]. | |
