Wonder Wools are collectible items that appear in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. A Wonder Wool is a bundle of yarn in one of a variety of different colors, though all have a tan band holding them together with a smiley face on it. Wonder Wools are Yoshis that have been unwoven by Kamek's magic; the Yoshis are made up of five Wonder Wools each, which have colors reflecting the Yoshi's colors. Kamek intends to take the collected Wonder Wool to Baby Bowser, but ends up dropping five Wonder Wool in each of the game's levels. If the player collects all five Wonder Wools in a level, that Yoshi is reknit and unlocked as a playable character. There are 275 Wonder Wools from levels in the game. In the Yoshi Hut, the alternate color schemes for each Yoshi that is reknit by collecting Wonder Wool from levels are depicted as consisting of different colors of Wonder Wool. The Boss Tent's Boss Challenges also have Wonder Wool available, with one to two Wonder Wool rewarded on the first completion of each Boss Challenge. There are fifteen Wonder Wool available that way, and therefore three more Yoshis.
Unlike Smiley Flowers and beads, Wonder Wools cannot be collected by throwing or spitting yarn balls, spitting a Koopa Shell, or spitting seeds from a Watermelon. Yarn balls bounce off Wonder Wool, Koopa Shells slide through, and watermelon seeds are blocked. Yoshi can throw another Yoshi at a Wonder Wool to collect it. In Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, thrown Poochy Pups collect Wonder Wool, though they return to Yoshi upon collision.
In King Bowser's Castle, Kamek creates eight giant magenta Wonder Wools. They have black bands with Bowser emblems instead of smiley faces. The first one is formed from four normal Wonder Wools, while the others appear on screen afterward. These are used to transform Baby Bowser into Mega Baby Bowser for the final battle. These Wonder Wools orbit around Mega Baby Bowser's head, sometimes rising out of sight during certain animations. Each of them can be destroyed with one yarn ball or Poochy Pup, and once all of them are destroyed Mega Baby Bowser is defeated and shrinks to normal size. Various Wonder Wool are seen leaving his body, 40 of which knit themselves back into eight Yoshis. Again, these Yoshis become playable characters.
