How to Get Wool in Hytale: Crafting Shears and Shearing Sheep

What to know

• Wool is obtained by shearing sheep with shears, not by killing them.​
• To make shears, you first need to craft a farmer’s workbench at a normal workbench.​
• The farmer’s workbench requires tree trunks and fiber; shears need one iron ingot.​
• Once you have shears, simply right‑click on a sheep to collect wool.​

In Hytale, wool is a basic crafting material used for making beds, banners, and other items. Unlike some games where you kill sheep for wool, here you shear them alive so they can regrow their wool later.​
