Fabric is harder to see, but look for collections of yellow or blue stalks sticking out from fields to find it. Usually non-aggressive animals or natural dwellers will randomly drop hides. Wood is found near trees and bushes look for discarded logs with a few leaves on the side. You can always find metal ore near large rocks or cliffs look for mounds of brown or black rocks. Leather and fabric is used for crafting clothing, metals are used for blacksmithing, and wood is used for woodworking. Collect resources like iron, jute, maple, and rawhide.
