Spool Fragment


Spool Fragments are Items in Hollow Knight: Silksong that are used to increase Hornet's Silk capacity.
Use
- Main article: Silk
Two Spool Fragments are combined to form a Spool, which increases Hornet's Silk capacity by 1. There are 18 total Spool Fragments to collect, allowing Hornet to hold 9 additional Silk once all Spool Fragments have been collected, and up to 21 Silk with the Spool Extender.
Completing a Spool will also completely fill Hornet's Silk meter.
How to Acquire
Six Spool Fragments are available in Act 1, allowing for Hornet to hold 3 additional strands of Silk by the Act's completion.
The remaining twelve Spool Fragments can be obtained across Act 2, allowing for a total of 9 additional strands of Silk.
