The '''[[sheep]]''' which are in black wool, are NPCs that players must shear in the [[Sheep Shearer]] quest. They were added on [[15 December]] [[2009]]. When players shear the black sheep with [[shears]], this produces [[black wool]], which can be made into a [[ball of black wool]].

After players complete the quest, they cannot shear the black sheep again, and any excess black wool or balls of black wool are also removed from a player's inventory and bank account.

Black sheep are only found in [[Fred the Farmer]]'s sheep pen; no black sheep are found in any other places on ''RuneScape''.

==Trivia==
* Before the 15 December 2009 update, there was only one black [[lamb]] instead of a sheep.
* Originally the player had to collect 20 balls of wool. However, many players simply bought the wool (mostly from the [[Grand Exchange]]) instead of shearing it. This made Jagex introduce the black sheep to encourage players to actually attempt the quest themselves.
* Sheep can "get away" from you even if you corner it on the fence.
* If you did the quest before the update and talk to Fred the farmer, he will reward you with some gold pieces.
