Wool

See also: Textile and Fabric

Wool is a textile fiber obtained from tamed hairy animals. Handlers shear these animals when they are ready and leave them on the ground where sheared. You can avoid excessive hauling by zoning or penning your wool-bearing livestock close to your storage. You can keep track of wool development on the specimen infobox. Very insulating garments for both heat and cold can be made from wool. Wool stats, yield, and shearing interval vary between different animals.

The following wools are in game:

• Alpaca wool
• Bison wool
• Megasloth wool
• Muffalo wool
• Sheep wool

Descriptions

Alpaca wool

The remarkably soft wool of an alpaca. It is warm, protects well from heat, and fetches a high price.

Alpaca wool is a type of fabric gathered by animal handlers by shearing tamed alpacas. Alpaca wool is a very good insulator, and is therefore recommended in clothing like parkas and tuques.

Bison wool

Thick and coarse wool of a bison. Quite warm.

Bison wool is a type of fabric gathered by animal handlers by shearing tamed bison.

Megasloth wool

While somewhat coarse, megasloth wool's long fibers make it very strong. It is very warm.

Megasloth wool is a type of fabric gathered by animal handlers by shearing tamed megasloth. Megasloth wool is the second warmest textile in the game, after Guinea pig fur and tied with Thrumbofur, and is essential for colonies on cold biomes like sea ice and ice sheet. It can be hard to obtain lots of it as it takes quite a while for megasloths to produce the wool (usually only enough to make one parka) and it is rarely sold by traders.

Muffalo wool

Soft, light and provides very good insulation. Muffalo wool clothes can keep the body warm even in very cold conditions.

Muffalo wool is a type of fabric gathered by animal handlers by shearing tamed muffalos.

Sheep wool

Sheep's wool. It provides good insulation.

Sheep wool is a type of fabric gathered by animal handlers by shearing tamed sheep.
