Why isn't my tailor grabbing any yarn from the market or weaver?

[Sex Lobster]

In fact my tailor is actually selling yarn in the marketplace instead of crafting it into cloaks, whats the deal? How am I suppose to level up my village if I cant get them to make clothes?

[Sinsling]

the yarn is clothing. so is leather, and linen. which is period accurate, homes would buy these and make their own clothes out of them.

Ok but how do I get my tailor to start making cloaks if they dont grab any yarn or dye which is being sold in the market?

Marketplace only supplies needs for homes, not act as resource sources, that is the job of the granary/storage building. If your storage doesn't have the material needed, and/or no one to stock it, the artisan cannot get to it and use it.

Ok that make sense, but how do I stop people from selling yarn and putting it in storage instead?

Greetings,
The weaver workshop needs two sets of items to complete materials for the Tailor.
- Wool to make Yarn.
- Flax to make Linen.
After each is made it may go to the warehouse for storage till both materials are stocked.

Then the Tailor workshop will start producing what you have set him to make.
- For cloths he needs Linen and Dyes
- For Cloaks he needs Yarn and Dyes
- For Gambesons he needs just linen

Dyers workshop needs Berries to make Dyes

Yeah, I understand this my community makes both but instead of being put in the storehouse they just sell it in the market. How do I put it in the storehouse?

You can't. That's just the way it is. However, your artisan should have priority on getting the yarn first. Easiest way to fix is to make tons of yarn ( buy more sheeps ) to have more surplus.

That's what I did, I got around 35 sheeps. I got too much yarn as a matter of fact.

Just buy more sheeps and assigned 2-3 families at sheep farm. Problem solved.

since yarn is tier1 clothing every house wants it, meaning if you have 50 houses the tailor only prioritises the make cloth with it after you stored 50 yarn in your market to make all houses happy. otherwise you can try to move around workers so your tailor wont have a market-spot to sell stuff and disallow your storage to pickup yarn so noone else has a use for it but the tailor to make cloths

Ok I'll try these methods, I don't have a way to make money on my current city until I get these clothes made so I guess I'll have to start fresh
