Clothworking

Employ this skill to spin, weave, make felt, crochet, knit, or otherwise produce textiles and sew clothes. Mending a shirt or sewing a simple cape requires at most a simple check, but sewing a ball gown or spinning silk can be much more difficult. The skill can also be used to dye cloth (note that the dye itself is produced using Alchemy).
