Unlocking knitting

Repair the armchair using twigs, cloth, and resin. This unlocks the knitting interface mid-burrow.

  • Armchair costs: 15 Twigs, 10 Cloth, 4 Resin.
  • Armchair adds +5 passive warmth just by being usable.
Section 02

Yarn supply chains

Farm plant fibers for early yarn, then pivot to fur tufts from critters. Spin them nightly so you never bottleneck.

  • Plant fiber loops yield about six yarn per hour.
  • Fur tufts drop from night critters; bring traps.
  • Dye plants spawn near rivers during dawn.
Section 03

Slot priorities

Sweater > Hat > Gloves > Scarf for pure warmth. Late game swap to balanced sets that buff stamina.

Dye and style bonuses

Dyed gear boosts morale and NPC friendship. Save rare dyes for festival outfits that double as warmth gear.

  • Lantern dye adds +2 warmth at night.
  • Storm dye resists -5 cold penalty.
  • Festival dye unlocks photo mode poses.

Always leave the burrow with at least six yarn queued.

Supply Tip 2

Stockpile buttons from trade routes for advanced pieces.
