item01Wool Thread
Wool Thread is a basic crafting material made by spinning Fleece or Soft Animal Fur. It is mainly used for crafting cloth, armour, weapons, and several useful base structures.
Wool Thread is crafted at a Spinning Wheel and grants 40 Artisan experience per craft.
02How to make Wool Thread
Wool Thread is crafted at a Spinning Wheel. There are two ways to produce it:
| Material | Quantity | Output | XP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fleece | 1 | 1 Wool Thread | 40 Artisan |
| Soft Animal Fur | 3 | 1 Wool Thread | 40 Artisan |
The Fleece recipe is the most efficient option, as one Fleece produces one Wool Thread. Soft Animal Fur is a useful alternative when you have a large stockpile from hunting.
Fleece is commonly obtained from sheep and rams, while Soft Animal Fur comes from wolves and related creatures.

- Wool Cloth — 3 Wool Thread
- Wool Net — 2 Wool Thread
- Chef's Hat
- Farmer's Hat

- Loom — 6 Wool Thread
- Loom Harness — 12 Wool Thread
- Small Wool Thread Bin — 20 Wool Thread
- Wool Thread Pile — 5 Wool Thread
- Tackle Box

The Loom is particularly important because it unlocks further textile processing.
05Best way to get Wool Thread
For regular production, Fleece is the best source because the conversion is 1:1. Keep Soft Animal Fur as a backup material rather than hunting specifically for it just to make thread.
If you are preparing for higher-tier crafting, it is worth producing Wool Thread in batches. Many armour and weapon recipes require it, while Wool Cloth and Padded Cloth create an additional demand for the material.
06Wool Thread crafting chain
The basic textile progression is:
Fleece / Soft Animal Fur → Wool Thread → Wool Cloth → Padded Cloth
Wool Cloth requires 3 Wool Thread, while Padded Cloth combines Rough Cloth and Wool Cloth at an upgraded Loom.
