1919 The Spinning Wheel is the gateway to Windrose's textile economy. Linen Fabric feeds nearly every mid-to-late armor recipe and is the base input for Broadcloth at higher-tier crafting. The Spinning Wheel requires a roof, which means it lives indoors with the Cooking Fire or inside a dedicated textile room alongside the Tanning Rack.

2323 Farm flax at the Seedbed for Plants for a steady Flax Fiber supply; a single plot yields 3 Flax Fiber per harvest cycle.The Spinning Wheel requires a full roof overhead; partial coverage or open-air placement fails the station.Pair the Spinning Wheel with the Tanning Rack and Press in a single textile outbuilding for a compact refining layout.

29+Textile Economy Context
30+ 
31+The Spinning Wheel is the only bench in the current build that converts Flax Fiber into Linen Fabric. Because Linen Fabric is the shared base input for armor, ship sail prep, and a small number of cargo recipes, the Spinning Wheel sits upstream of the rest of the textile economy.

34+Seedbed Pairing
35+ 
36+Flax Fiber is produced from Seedbed for Plants harvests at a rate of 3 fiber per plot per cycle. One Spinning Wheel can absorb the output of three Flax plots without waiting, which is the natural plot-to-bench ratio to aim for when laying out a textile outbuilding. Doubling the Seedbed count without adding a second Spinning Wheel creates a Flax backlog instead of more Linen per hour.

38+Layout Tips
39+ 
40+Keep the Spinning Wheel under a continuous roof. Partial-cover placements silently fail the recipe check.Place the bench inside the same roofed structure as the Tanning Rack and the Press. A single textile outbuilding reduces walk time when running Linen through the full Broadcloth chain.Linen Fabric does not spoil, so the Spinning Wheel can run overnight without risking ingredient loss. Queue a long run before logging off if storage bins allow it.
