Creation
There are two different methods to craft parchment.
Hides
Use shears onto a small scraped hide that was made with leather working.
Flax

Place flax fibers into a barrel with at least half as much water (you can place a stack of 16 flax fibers in a full barrel). It will turn into linen fiber pulp after 24 hours of sealing.
You can use a sieve to transform 4 linen fiber pulp into 1 parchment. Fiber pulp can be created from the following materials:

You can purchase parchments from a:
- Agriculture Trader or Commodities Trader for an average price of 1 rusty gear for a stack of 5.
