So as you weave cotton sheets from the cottonballs, you slowly become more and more encumbered. Physics smackdown?

Finished with 7 clean cotton left over, 133 cotton cloths, 150.41 KGs with same gear and tools.
I'm sure this will get nerfed now that I say it, but the nearly bottomless inventory, tea, and present bonus to the weaving system makes it very easy to profit from growing cotton. So I say on behalf of cotton-hermits everywhere: Thanks, JC!
