Wool is produced after shearing (or butchering) one of a handful of animals, currently llamas, alpacas, trolls, sheep, woolly mammoths, and woolly rhinoceroses. Animals can be sheared again to produce more wool after 300 days have passed. Wool is stored in a refuse stockpile under Hair/Wool and appears under Body parts in the stocks menu. Wool can be spun into yarn threads, which can then be woven into cloth at a loom and used to create a variety of textile products such as bags, clothing, ropes or crafts. (For a full discussion of the process and possibilities, see textile industry.)

Curiously, raw wool can even be animated as undead by necromancers or evil biomes, though it is more a distraction than a real threat as it falls apart quite easily even to civilian punches.

A soft, wool texture.
