Wool is the soft product shared by two animals: the Sheep in the Deluxe Barn and the Rabbit in the Deluxe Coop. Both give exactly the same item, and it is one of the most valuable things a farm animal produces on a regular basis. A Loom spins it into Cloth, and better Wool has a chance to make two bolts at once. Wool is also an option in the Animal Bundle, and Emily loves it as a gift. Sheep with strong friendship can regrow their coat every day, which makes Wool a serious earner in a mature Barn.
The in-game description reads: Soft, fluffy wool.
Production
A sheep grows a new coat every three days once it is fed and reasonably happy. High friendship takes a day off that wait, and the Shepherd profession takes off another. With both, the sheep is ready every single morning. Shears from Marnie's Ranch clip the coat, and each shearing gives one Wool and a small friendship boost. An Auto-Grabber can shear the whole flock overnight instead.
A rabbit drops Wool on the Coop floor every four days, with no tool needed. On some of those days, a well-loved rabbit in a good mood leaves a Rabbit's Foot in its place.
For both animals, friendship and mood decide the star quality. Daily petting, steady meals and time on fresh grass raise both scores. The Shepherd and Coopmaster professions each improve the quality of produce from their own building.
Prices
Raw Wool sells for a good price at normal quality, and iridium Wool fetches double. Taking Rancher raises that by a fifth.
The Loom turns one Wool into Cloth in four hours. A single bolt of Cloth sells for more than normal Wool, so plain Wool always gains from the Loom. Quality changes the outcome in an unusual way. The Loom ignores quality for the Cloth itself, but better Wool raises the chance of a second bolt. Silver Wool has a small chance, gold Wool a one-in-two chance, and iridium Wool always makes two.
That makes gold Wool a gamble. With one bolt it loses a little against selling it raw, but with two it nearly doubles. Over many runs, the average comes out ahead. Iridium Wool is a safe bet, since its two bolts are worth well over the raw price. The Artisan profession raises Cloth by two fifths, which turns every quality of Wool into a clear profit.
Uses
The Animal Bundle in the Pantry lists Wool among six animal products, and any five complete it. A sheep or rabbit can therefore stand in for one of the harder Large products.
Cloth, the Loom's product, is an option in the Artisan Bundle in the same room. Cloth is also used in the Sewing Machine for tailoring clothes.
Gifts
Emily loves Wool. Her parents' letter in Secret Note #8 even mentions sending her "Gemstones and Wool". Sandy likes it, while Penny dislikes it. Most other villagers accept it with little reaction.
Emily loves Cloth as well, so a spare bolt from the Loom makes an equally good present for her.
These villagers love receiving Wool as a gift.

Notes
Sheep and rabbits cost the same at Marnie's Ranch, but sheep produce more Wool over time. A sheep with high friendship and the Shepherd profession gives Wool daily, while a rabbit waits four days between drops. What the rabbit offers instead is the chance of a Rabbit's Foot.
