[Dame de la Licorne]

Hiya,

My weavers keep announcing "Urist McDwarf cancels weave 'x' into cloth: needs 1 unused collected 'x' thread" even though I have thread (yarn and silk) in my stocks.  After disabling all bins in cloth/thread stockpiles and still getting the message, I finally figured out that my doctors must have used some of those thread-items for various suture jobs (I happened to see one with the "suture" job carrying one of the thread-items in question). 

My suggestion/request is the following: to tweak descriptions of thread so that once part of it has been used for suturing, the description now says something like "partially used" and/or "mostly used", to cut down on the "but you HAVE thread" player responses to the cancellation message.  It may also be good to somehow keep those thread-items from creating weaving jobs.  And also to make that  partly-used thread a priority for hospital claiming items.
