The Burlap Handwraps are strips of rough burlap wound around the hands and forearms. They are a crafted accessory for the Hands slot. They give a little warmth and a thin layer against scratches.
Their strength is how easy they are to make. Any survivor with a needle or an awl, a few Burlap Pieces and some thread can sew a pair. No Tailoring level is needed. Their cost is weak protection next to stronger wraps and real gloves.
The handwraps come only from crafting. The same recipe also makes Denim, Leather Strip and Rag versions. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The wraps keep the hands and forearms half warm and block half of the wind. That is enough for cool autumn days.
They stop about one scratch in ten on the hands and forearms. Rag Handwraps stop only half as many scratches. Denim Handwraps stop twice as many, at one in five. Leather Strip Handwraps match the denim against scratches and add a tenth against bites. Leather Gloves are warmer and stop almost a third of scratches.
The wraps take the Hands slot. Any other gloves, and pieces worn on the arms or the hands, clash with them. A full suit with a hood clashes as well.
Tailoring
Burlap counts as cotton fabric for repairs and ripping. Research Craft on the handwraps teaches Sew Leather Gloves. That makes them a cheap first step toward proper leather gloves.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Burlap Handwraps and teaches the recipes below.
