How to Craft Silk Thread and Cord in LEGO Fortnite

Silk thread and cords are available to craft using silk and vines after building a spinning wheel. Silk is a drop from spiders, while vines are harvestable by destroying bushes.

Once you have these resources and have built a spinning wheel, you’ll spot the silk thread and cords in your spinning wheel’s crafting menu, allowing you to add them to a queue to craft every few seconds.

How to Make a Spinning Wheel in LEGO Fortnite

You’ll unlock the spinning wheel after building the lumber mill with wood and granite. After making the lumber mill, you’ll find the spinning wheel in your build menu, requiring the following resources:

  • Plank x8
  • Wooden Rod x5
  • Wood x5
  • Wolf Claw x5

Wood is available from chopping down trees, which you’ll use to craft planks and wooden rods at your lumber mill. Wolf claws are a resource dropped from wolves, a nighttime creature that attacks you and nearby animals on sight.

After collecting the necessary resources for the spinning wheel, build the structure and enter its menu to find silk thread and cords in the material list.

To make silk thread, you’ll have to find silk, which drops from spiders you’ll encounter at night around the wilderness. Similarly, you can craft cords using vines, a common drop from bushes.
