'''Weaver''' is the [[skill]] associated with the '''weaving''' [[labor]]. Weavers use a [[loom]] to weave [[cloth]] from [[silk]] [[thread]] (from [[web]]s left by [[cave spider]]s, [[giant cave spider]]s, or [[phantom spider]]s), plant fiber thread (processed from [[rope reed]]s or [[pig tail]]s), or [[yarn]] ([[spinner|spun]] from [[wool]] of [[shearer|shearable]] creatures). Unlike most intermediate goods, cloth has a quality value, and [[dwarf|dwarves]] with high skill in weaving create higher-quality cloth. Collecting spider webs also requires and trains the weaving skill.

Note that, because they visit the [[cavern]]s often to gather web, weavers are particularly susceptible to encountering dangerous wildlife, such as the giant cave spider creating the webs they're currently gathering. Consider assigning physically stronger dwarves for the job and giving them some war [[dog]]s or similar, so that they have a bigger chance of fighting off hostile cavern beasts.
