Palworld: How to Get Cloth from Wool

Cloth is crafted from two Wool at a Workbench once you reach Technology Level 3, with a Ranch giving you a steady supply.

Cloth is crafted from two Wool at a Workbench once you reach Technology Level 3, with a Ranch giving you a steady supply.

Cloth is a woven Material in Palworld that you cannot pick up in the wild or pull directly off most Pals. You make it yourself, and it becomes the backbone of your early armor. Once you know the recipe and how to keep Wool flowing, a reliable supply is easy to maintain.

Quick answer: Reach Technology Level 3 to unlock the Cloth recipe, then craft it at a Primitive Workbench using 2 Wool per Cloth.

The Cloth recipe and requirements

Cloth is unlocked in the Technology tab at Level 3. After that, you craft it at a Workbench for 2 Wool each. The Primitive Workbench is available from the moment you start the game, so the only thing standing between you and Cloth is a steady stock of Wool.

Craft Cloth at a Workbench

Open the Technology tab and unlock Cloth at Level 3. This adds the recipe to your Workbench crafting list.

Gather at least 2 Wool for every Cloth you want. Wool is the sole ingredient, so the amount of Cloth you can make is capped only by how much Wool you have.

Interact with a Primitive Workbench, select Cloth, and set the quantity. Each finished Cloth consumes 2 Wool and appears in your inventory once crafting completes.

Where Wool comes from

Wool is the ingredient that makes or breaks your Cloth supply. Lamball is the main source, and you will run into these Pals almost immediately when you leave your starting area. Early tutorial tasks even ask you to capture a few of them.

Hunting or capturing Lamball works, but it is slow if you only want the drops. The dependable method is a Ranch, which turns captured Lamball into a passive Wool farm at your base.

Set up a Ranch for steady Wool

Reach Level 5 and unlock the Ranch in the Technology tab. This is the facility that lets Pals produce resources on their own.
Build the Ranch at your base using 50 Wood, 20 Stone, and 30 Fiber.
Place a Lamball at the Ranch by picking it up and throwing it inside. Unassigned Pals often assign themselves to the job they suit best, but dropping it in directly makes sure it starts working right away.
Collect the Wool the Lamball drops around the Ranch whenever you return to base. Assigning more Lamball raises your Wool output, which means more Cloth per Workbench session.

Tip: A running Ranch removes the need to go hunting for Wool. Grab the drops on each visit and you will rarely be short on Cloth.

Pals that drop Cloth directly

A small number of Pals drop finished Cloth when captured or defeated, which can top up your stock without crafting. Azurobe and Felbat are the two known sources. This is a supplement, not a replacement for the Wool and Ranch loop, since the Workbench remains the most consistent way to produce Cloth.


What Cloth is used for

Cloth exists mainly to build armor. It starts with basic Cloth Armor and feeds into stronger gear as you progress, including protective sets for extreme heat and cold and higher tiers such as Metal Armor. It is also part of the Legendary Cloth Outfit recipe.

Keeping a steady flow of Cloth means you can craft and upgrade armor as soon as new recipes unlock, which keeps you alive against tougher Pals and bosses while you push deeper into the world.
