Silk is the most vital resource in <em>Hollow Knight: Silksong</em> next to your health, providing Hornet ways to unleash powerful abilities and restore her vitality. By collecting unique items called Spool Fragments, you can bolster your total Silk higher, giving you more ways to recover and fight against the game’s many dangers.
Spool Fragments are similar in nature to Mask Shards in Silksong, which give you an additional bar of health if you collect enough of them. By gathering two Spool Fragments, you increase Hornet’s total Silk amount for the rest of your journey. This quick upgrade system lets you gain Silk at a far faster rate than the four Mask Shards it takes to boost your max health.

Discover The Pieces To Build A Wider Web
When you begin your adventure, you may spot a Spool Fragment or two as you travel into new areas. However, many Spool Fragments are inaccessible until you unlock specific abilities, such as Hornet’s Clawline Grappling Hook, Double Jump, or other skills.
In total, there are 18 Spool Fragments scattered around different areas, with some only remaining in spaces you can access during certain parts of the game’s story. Some even exist in Silksong‘s hidden Act 3 story section, which has a unique set of requirements to unlock.
Be careful trying to find Spool Fragments in Act 3, as reaching that part of the story locks you out from some areas that were in Act 2, preventing you from getting 100% of all the upgrade items.
Spool Fragments tend to glow with a white light, giving you a good idea of where they are, regardless of whether you have explored a map area or not. Some are given as quest rewards, while others are bought from vendors, so be prepared to do a variety of tasks to get each Fragment.
Spool Fragment #1 Location — Bellhart
The easiest Spool Fragment to get is one that appears in Bellhart, a safe zone between Shellwood and Greymoor. In the vendor area, speak to the NPC Frey to buy this upgrade item for 720 Rosaries, the primary currency of the game.
You need to have completed the “My Missing Courier” side quest before you unlock the Fragment in Frey’s inventory for the sale. While Rosaries in Hollow Knight: Silksong can be tough to farm in large amounts, defeating enough enemies should allow you to obtain this item faster than some of the others.
Spool Fragment #2 Location — Bone Bottom
This Fragment is found below the Mosshome elevator in Bone Bottom, in a room you can reach by hitting a lever that opens up a path down. Continuing down along some ledges before Bone Bottom’s biggest space will lead you along the ceiling above the location where a path to The Marrow can be seen below.
Hang to the right of the ceiling until you reach a narrow path, then climb up past some flying enemies into a space with a spike trap. Here, you can destroy a wall to your left to reveal the Spool Fragment, which lies glowing on a pedestal.
Spool Fragment #3 Location — Weavenest Alta
This Fragment is found in the lower left corner of the Memorium area, but it is one of the hardest to actually reach. At the top of the left-most room of this area, you have to at least use the Double Jump and Faydown Cloak abilities to slowly descend to the bottom of this place, avoiding a ton of spikes blocking your path.
The Clawline Grappling Hook will also help you avoid spikes in the walls, floor, and ceiling of this space as you descend. Use different walls to cling and reposition to eventually get to the Fragment at the end of this route.
Spool Fragment #18 Location — Cogwork Core
Gaining every upgrade item will allow Hornet to heal more often in battle and use a greater variety of abilities to overcome difficult challenges. Every type of build inHollow Knight: Silksong benefits from more Silk, so finding all the Spool Fragments in the game is well worth the effort.
