Wonder Wools are collectible items that appear in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. There are five Wonder Wools in each level, all in a variety of different colors, though all have a tan band holding them together with a smiley face on it. There are 275 Wonder Wools total in the game. 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. If the player collects all five Wonder Wools in a level, that Yoshi is reknit and unlocked as a playable character. 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.
Unlike Smiley Flowers and beads, Wonder Wools cannot be collected by throwing a yarn ball at them.Yarn balls bounce off instead. However, a 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 Big 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.
