Aramid Thread is a strong synthetic thread, the fibre used in bulletproof vests and firefighter gear. It counts as both ordinary thread and heavy thread, so it fits almost every sewing recipe.
Its most valuable use is metal armour. The forge recipes for body armour, helmets, masks and limb plates all call for heavy thread, and Aramid Thread fills that slot. Recipes such as Forge Metal Body Armor and Assemble Shin Armor need both Blacksmithing and Tailoring. It also stands in for thread across the Tailoring recipes, from Sew Shirt to Sew Furred Hide Coat.
The thread is picked by hand out of protective clothing. The Pick Aramid Thread recipe needs Tailoring level 2. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Heavy thread holds the padding and straps of forged armour together. Forge Metal Body Armor and Forge Metal Helmet need Blacksmithing level 6 and Tailoring level 3. Forge Coat of Plates Body Armor and the articulated limb armour need Blacksmithing level 8 and Tailoring level 4. All of these run at a Simple Forge or better.
The scrap metal armour recipes use it too. Make Scrap Metal Body Armor needs Welding level 6, and the scrap limb pieces need Welding level 5.
Furred and leather clothing also calls for heavy thread. Sew Furred Hide Coat takes six pieces and Sew Furred Hide Jacket takes four. Simple garments such as Sew Shirt, Sew Long Dress and Sew Sack accept it as ordinary thread. So do household items like Sew Pillow and Sew Mattress.
A spool gives about ten uses. That makes it worth saving for heavy thread recipes rather than spending it on rags and sacks.
How to Get Aramid Thread
The Pick Aramid Thread recipe makes one spool. It takes one piece of protective clothing, a pair of scissors and an awl or pliers. The tools are kept. It needs Tailoring level 2.
The clothing that gives it includes Bulletproof Vest - Civilian, Bulletproof Vest - Police and Bulletproof Vest - Military. The Firefighter Jacket and Firefighter Pants work too. So do the armour pieces cut from a vest, such as Bulletproof Vest Forearm Armor.

Notes
- It works anywhere a recipe asks for thread or heavy thread.
- Worn out bulletproof vests are worth keeping as a thread supply.
- A Firefighter Jacket or Firefighter Pants can also be picked apart for it.
- Spools of the same thread can be merged from the inventory menu.
