Building with it

A Banner is six wool over a stick, and the wool decides the background colour. On a loom it takes up to six pattern layers, a cauldron washes the top one off again, and the finished design carries onto a shield or a map marker. Banners burn in fire but survive being placed on a wall or on top of a block.
