{{Info|'''Bison wool''' is a type of [[fabric]] gathered by [[Skills#Animals|animal handlers]] by shearing tamed [[bison]].}}

== Acquisition ==
Bison wool is acquired by shearing tamed [[bison]] - each bison can be sheared every {{Q|Bison|Shearing Interval Days}} days for {{Q|Bison|Wool Amount}} wool, for an average of {{Q|Bison|Daily Wool Average}} per day. Note that the amount of wool sheared scales with the [[Animal Gather Yield]] of the shearer. 

Shearing takes {{Ticks|1700}}, regardless of the amount of wool produced, and only modified by the [[Animal Gather Speed]] of the handler.

It can also be purchased from [[trade]]rs.

==Analysis==
Along with the other [[wool]]s, bison wool has the second worst protective stats of any [[textile]] in the game, tying [[cloth]] in sharp/blunt armor, and only beating cloth by virtue of heat armor. But like other wools, bison wool excels against the cold, offering the 8th best cold insulation (just 2 degrees lower than 4th place muffalo wool). In comparison, its heat insulation is poor, at 19th place. Therefore, wool clothes are largely used in cold biomes, namely for [[parka]]s.

Compared to other wools, bison wool has the worst cold insulation, tied with [[sheep wool]]. Bison also eat more than [[sheep]] or [[alpaca]]s, but have the worst Per Day production of all wools. However, your colony might only have bison available, which are useful as [[pack animal]]s.

As [[furniture]], it has a marginally better [[Property:Beauty Factor|beauty factor]] than other common textiles. Care should be taken, as all wools in RimWorld are exceptionally flammable.

==Trivia==
Contrary to wool in real life, wool in [[RimWorld]] is more flammable than [[Cloth|cotton]], rather than less.
