Hemp is also fairly ubiquitous. It is similar in some ways to flax, but hardier, and is prepared in a similar manner. It yields a coarse thread, and if woven, a rough fabric. Only the very poor will wear hempen cloth. Hemp is chiefly used in making rope and packing cloth.
Fruit trees and berries are probably also important enough to include here. For some steads, they will be major resources.
I'll put both these tables up among the growing number of stead resource tables!
