Enshrouded 1.0: How to Get Wool from Yaks and the Spinning Machine

Wool in Enshrouded starts with a Yak. These woolly animals roam the Albaneve Summits, and once you tame one and settle it at your base, it produces Raw Wool you can refine. The game describes Wool as “Refined wool. It can be used for weaving garments and warm padding.” Turning it into usable cloth means taming the animal, housing it properly, and running the Raw Wool through a Spinning Machine.

Quick answer: Use Yak Food Bait to tame a Yak in the Albaneve Summits and take it home to your base. Gather its Raw Wool, then use the Spinning Machine to turn 16 Raw Wool into 12 Wool.

Craft Yak Food Bait at the Farmer

Before you can tame anything, you need bait. The Yak Food Bait recipe is at the Farmer: 1 Yucca Fruit, 1 Flat Bread, 1 Corncob, 1 Dried Purple Berry, and 1 Honey, which together make 10 baits.

The Farmer also gives the quest “Gathering Wool In The Albaneve Summits”, which asks for at least 3 Yak baits and marks a spot on your map where Yaks can be found. You can tame a Yak anywhere you find one, so that marker is a convenience rather than a requirement.

Find and tame a Yak in the Albaneve Summits

The game describes the animal this way: “This woolly fellow grows a thick coat to weather the harsh climate of Albaneve Summits. It can be shaved for wool.” Taming follows the bait’s own instructions.

Head to the Albaneve Summits and find a wild Yak. Approach it carefully while sneaking.

Toss bait beside the Yak. Once it starts eating, give it a pet. Keep alternating food and pets until it becomes docile.

Once the Yak is tame, pick it up so you can carry it back to your base.

Set up the Yak at your base

Place the Yak at your base and give it what it needs to stay fed and rested. Each of these is crafted at the Farmer.

Yak Feeder — 7 Wood Logs, 3 Nails. Fill it with Yak Food.
Yak Food — 1 Yucca Fruit, 3 Corncob, 1 Dried Purple Berry, which make 50.
Big Farm Animal Pillow — 8 Twigs, 5 Straw, 2 Palm Wood Logs, for the Yak to sleep on.

Tamed Yaks give Raw Wool: use “Collect all resources to pick up” at your Yaks to gather it.

Refine Raw Wool into Wool at the Spinning Machine

Raw Wool is not the finished material. To turn it into Wool, you need a Spinning Machine, crafted at the Hunter from 3 Conifer Logs, 5 Metal Scraps, 1 Linen, and 1 Spinning Wheel. Building it is tied to the Hunter quest “A Spinning Machine For The Hunter”. Place it in your base and load it with Raw Wool: 16 Raw Wool make 12 Wool.

What Wool is used for

You can use Wool for warm equipment, a Flame Altar upgrade, and assorted furniture and decorations. Next, the Hunter quest asks you to “Make Warm Padding Kits”, describing them as essential for crafting warmer gear.

Use	Crafted at	Wool needed
Warm Padding (3 Fabric, 1 Leather, 2 Resin)	Hunter	4
Flame Altar upgrade, level 6 to 7	Flame Altar	30
Big Elegant Sofa	Carpenter	12
Small Elegant Sofa	Carpenter	10
High Elegant Armchair	Carpenter	6
Low Elegant Armchair	Carpenter	4
Wall Tapestry I–III	Bard	10 each
Wall Tapestry IV–V	Bard	18 each
Wall banners	Bard	2–3 each

The level 6 to 7 Flame Altar upgrade also calls for 30 Spark, 30 Gentian, 30 Ice, 30 Granite, 30 Flammable Goo, and 1 Fell Cyclops Head alongside the Wool.

Raw Wool has its own uses too: Spider Web I-III (1 Raw Wool each) and Spider Web IV (2) at the Hunter, and Eternal Fire Totem I (10 Raw Wool) at the Alchemist.
